E V Secretary Of State For The Home Department
''E v Secretary of State for the Home Department'' was a landmark Court of Appeal case of 2004 which significantly developed the doctrine of ''error of fact'' as a distinct ground which was taken in conjunction with the question of new evidence (or the most recent decision) being considered in order to establish the error. The case laid out in definitive terms the criteria for the court to review a finding of ''mistake of fact'' leading to unfairness. In establishing an error of fact according to the requirements, a duty was identified to consider a decision; in particular, the duty to reopen a matter or direct a rehearing. The question of new evidence produced after the hearing but before the decision date was considered within the context of the power of the Immigration Appeal Tribunal (IAT) to direct a rehearing. Facts Two appellants, who had separately claimed asylum in the United Kingdom, were heard jointly in the Court of Appeal. They were known only as ′E′ and ′Râ ...

R V Secretary Of State For The Home Department, Ex Parte Simms
''R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, ex parte Simms'' 999UKHL 33is a UK constitutional law case, concerning parliamentary sovereignty. Facts Simms and another prisoner, both serving life sentences for murder, brought judicial review proceedings against the Home Secretary’s contention that they could not have oral interviews with journalists unless no part would be published.
