PUBLIC LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Permission to Appeal application lodgedCase summary:The principal issue concerns the validity of a civil penalty notice issued by the Secretary of State for the Home Department under section 15 of the Immigration Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. In view of the requirement under s.15(6)(a) that a notice must “state why the Secretary of State thinks the employer is liable to the penalty”, is the penalty notice invalid if it does not identify which of the grounds in s.15(1) applies (i.e. by specifying the circumstances in which a person subject to immigration control has no right to work)?
