Landmark Chambers fields extensive knowledge and experience in a broad range of immigration matters. Members of the set act for both claimants, intervening NGOs and the government, and appear at all levels of the appellate system. David Blundell recently led Julia Smyth in R (Roehrig) v SSHD in a defining case of whether a child born to an EU citizen exercising treaty rights automatically acquires British citizenship. Samantha Broadfoot KC is a key name for systemic challenges in immigration law, whilst Tim Buley KC acted for an intervening charity in the case R (AAA) (Syria) v SSHD concerning the Rwanda plan at the Court of Appeal. Alex Goodman KC appeared in the judicial review of the opening and operation of Derwentside IRC, the sole all-female immigration detention centre in the UK, and was supported by Miranda Butler.
