| Title: | "Asylum seeker NHS ban 'unlawful'" |
| Description: | (BBC News - 11/04/08) Regulations banning failed asylum seekers from receiving free NHS treatment have been declared unlawful in the High Court (Mitting J) in a test case ruling on a failed asylum seeker from Palestine, unable to return to the West Bank owing to travel restrictions and problems over documentation. Adam Hundt, of Pierce Glynn, said the rules were leading to "grotesque human suffering". ...."My client is effectively stuck in the UK, even though he is doing all that he can to return home."
