Use of Human Rights Act in immigration cases ‘out of control’, Conservatives say

The Tories announced they would table an amendment to the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill.



The Conservative Party claims the use of the Human Rights Act in immigration cases is "out of control" and plans to table an amendment to the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill to prevent its use in appealing deportation or immigration decisions. They argue UK judges are misinterpreting the ECHR, hindering the government's ability to deport illegal migrants. Critics argue the amendment is an "outsourcing plan" that bypasses British courts and gives control to the court in Strasbourg.
