By Monidipa Fouzder2021-05-11T10:39:00+01:00 The Home Office appears to be stepping on the Ministry of Justice’s toes by consulting on extending fixed recoverable costs in immigration judicial reviews, public law specialists have suggested. Priti Patel’s department says it is rarely able to recover costs in immigration-related JRs and wants them to fall under the scope of fixed recoverable costs, which would specify the amount that the winning party can recover. The proposal appears in the Home Office’s New Plan for Immigration consultation, which largely ran at the same time the Ministry of Justice was consulting on proposed JR reforms.
