Welcome to the October 2017 edition of the Free Movement immigration update podcast. This month we look at a load of cases from Strasbourg, the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal and of course the Upper Tribunal. These cases range from the sublime, including private religious worship, trafficking and torture, to the ridiculous. I end by taking a look at a couple of examples of media coverage of Home Office decisions and the harsh rules the coverage highlights.
The material is all drawn from the October 2017 blog posts on Free Movement.
