The Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Procedure) (Amendment No. 2) Rules 2007
These Rules amend the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Procedure) Rules 2003 (S.I. 2003/1034) to give effect to Article 10(2) of Council Directive 2005/85/EC of 1st December 2005 laying down minimum standards on procedures in Member States for granting and withdrawing refugee status (O. J. L326, 13/12/2005, p.13). They provide for the Commission to serve its determination on the parties within a reasonable time and make express provision for the existing practice whereby an appellant may have an interpreter in certain circumstances. They also make a minor amendment to the time limits for applications for permission to appeal from the Commission to an appellate court, to provide that each party is to have the same period in which to apply, calculated from the date on which the party received the Commission’s final determination. An impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as it has no impact on businesses, charities or voluntary bodies.
