One Pump Court
Claimant-side set One Pump Court has a specialist immigration team that is able to advise on the full gamut of immigration, asylum, and deportation cases, including those that cross-over into other areas of law such as human rights and Court of Protection matters. The chambers includes a number of notable juniors who have acted in relation to a number of high profile mandates, such as David Chirico KC and Benjamin Bundock , who represent the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in its intervention into R (AAA and others) v Secretary of State for the Home Department, the substantial litigation around the government policy to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda. Alex Burrett is acting for an appellant who was stripped of his British citizenship by the Secretary of State in an appeal before the European Court of Human Rights in Pham v UK.
