High Court Rejects FDA Union's Challenge on Rwanda Deportation Guidance

The FDA union's legal challenge concerning guidance for civil servants on deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda was rejected by London's High Court. The guidance allowed compliance with ministers' decisions that conflicted with Europe's human rights court. This policy might be overturned by the Labour government.

A trade union on Friday lost a legal challenge over guidance given to civil servants on Britain's plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda, though that policy is likely to be scrapped by the incoming Labour government.

The FDA union took legal action over guidance issued to government officials, which stated they could follow ministers' decisions to deport people in breach of an order from Europe's human rights court.

A judge at London's High Court rejected the FDA's legal challenge in a written ruling on Friday.
