In this episode of our Legal Podcast, hosted by Karema, we delve into the significant case of R(O) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (2022 UKSC 3). Building on our previous discussion in Episode 8, we explore the intricacies of British citizenship laws, especially for children born in the UK to non-British or non-settled parents.
We highlight the legislation under the British Nationality Act 1981 and the implications of the Immigration Act 2014, focusing on how these laws impact the path to citizenship for children like O, a Nigerian-born UK resident. The episode examines the legal challenge against the unaffordable citizenship application fee of £973, arguing that it unlawfully restricts access to citizenship.
Dive into the details of the Supreme Court ruling, which found the fee disproportionately high, thus infringing on human rights. We also discuss the possibility of fee waivers for vulnerable families and the role of the Home Office in such applications. Join us as we unravel the legal, social, and human aspects of this pivotal case.
