The Court Order, dated 8 April 2009, in relation to the above judgment gives the UK Border Agency 42 days to implement that judgment.

Work is underway to put the necessary remedies in place. This is not a simple matter and it is right and proper that we take the time available to make sure that correct policy and procedures are in place for all those affected.

We appreciate that those affected will be keen to formalise their position in relation to the judgment but ask you not to submit an application based on the outcome of the judicial review, until policy and procedures are published on this website.

There will be some people whose leave is due to expire before (or shortly after) the policy and procedures are published on the website. Those people will need to submit an in-time application. If this is the case you can submit an application for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) and this will be held until policy and guidance is published. It would help if you can make sure you attach a note to your application identifying yourself as being affected by the ILR judgment handed down on 6 April 2009.

Policy and procedures for all those affected by the judgment will be published on or by 20 May 2009.
