Career
Simon specialises in all aspects of appeals related Immigration and Asylum law and is regularly instructed to challenge Home Office immigration decisions at courts ranging from the First Tier Immigration Tribunal to the Court of Appeal. He also advises and provides representation in immigration related Judicial Review matters. The advent of direct access has also enabled Simon to assist clients with applications to the Home Office.
Simon has over 18 years experience representing clients before the Immigration Tribunal. His expertise covers all areas of immigration law including cases involving partners, children, long residence, the Points Based System, EEA rights, Ankara Agreement rights, asylum and family reunion, deportation, civil penalties for illegal working and human rights claims based on Article 8.
Simon has achieved success in numerous appeals under the Points Based System (PBS) arguing that UK Visas & Immigration has failed to properly apply the Immigration Rules, unlawfully elevated the status of their Policy Guidance, wrongly invoked one of the General Grounds of Refusal or not properly considered Human Rights.
