Don't delay deportation flight, government warns judges
Treasury Solicitor's Department moves to head off last-minute judicial review calls that could hold up Baghdad-bound plane
Government lawyers have warned high court judges that last-minute legal challenges should not be allowed to "disrupt or delay" a deportation flight to Baghdad due to leave Britain early tomorrow.
A letter from the Treasury Solicitor's Department asks high court judges to facilitate the special scheduled charter flight by refusing to consider last-minute judicial review applications by detainees due for deportation. The flight is only the second of its kind to go to Baghdad.
In a letter dated 2 June, Andrea McMahon of the department says: "Because of the complexities, practicalities and costs involved in arranging charter flights, it is essential that these removals are not disrupted or delayed by large numbers of last-minute claims for permission to seek judicial review."
