Michael applied to join his mother in the UK from Malawi, he was
granted temporary entry because he was so unwell. He was
quickly diagnosed with HIV.
Michael has received treatment and his health has improved. His
application to stay was refused, and his appeal to an Asylum and
Immigration Tribunal (AIT) rejected. The AIT rejection was based
on a judgment by the House of Lords where the judge made it
clear that if an applicant was dying, they would be allowed to stay.
But in Michael's case, because his health has improved and, if he
stayed here it would be unlikely he would die for many decades,
he could be returned to Malawi!
The anti-retroviral treatment that Michael is receiving is not
available in Malawi and if returned he will almost certainly die.
Michael is 14.
We have represented Michael throughout his case. After his
appeal was rejected a review application was lodged and a
reconsideration hearing was set.
Michael won the right to have his appeal reheard. Work done at
the reconsideration stage is not automatically paid for by Legal
Aid – it is payment on results – so many organisations would not
be able to continue with a case at this stage.
