Home office to pay costs for illegal deportation
The Home Office was ordered to pay thousands of pounds of legal costs to an asylum seeker after flouting an injunction banning her from being deported.
The department was told it could face a judicial review hearing after admitting to being in contempt of court for illegally removing Fadile Parmaksiz, 33, an asylum seeker from Turkey.
Sitting at the High Court, Mr Justice Collins said the arrangements in the Home Office were "defective" and that the case was "yet another example of one department not knowing what the other was doing".
He condemned the behaviour of two immigration officials but said neither was singularly responsible for the illegal removal of the mother and her three children to Germany. She has since returned to Britain where she is still seeking asylum.
He ordered the Home Office to pay the costs of the legal proceedings, thought to be thousands of pounds.
