1:30 pm to 5pm – 5th September 2013 – Friends’ Meeting House, 6 Mount Street, Manchester M2 5NS 

This course is aimed at legal representatives acting for foreign national prisoners (FNP’s).

There are a number of new immigration enforcement measures which are designed to speed up the process of deportation or removal. The provisions apply to both indeterminate and determinate sentence prisoners.  Certain measures may affect your client earlier in their sentence than previously was the case.

This course is designed to enable you to understand your client’s status and the impact that will have on their sentence and/or release.

.

The course will cover:

  • Is your client “liable to removal? “: a fundamental statutory definition
  • Deportation,  including ‘Automatic’ deportation: what it really means
  • Tariff Expired Removal Scheme (TERS)
  • Repatriation – Consent and No consent
  • Other Foreign National Prisoner issues – the current position including ROTL, HDC and ERS and parole.
