In this webinar, Sangeetha Iengar and Bronwen Jones, of Chambers’ immigration team, take a deep-dive into some of the hostile environment policies, exploring how they have evolved over time to entrench hostility towards migrants and how they have been procedurally or legally adapted, extinguished or preserved during the Coronavirus pandemic.
Specifically, Sangeetha and Bronwen discuss the ‘overt’ legal mechanisms of the hostile environment – the right to rent, no recourse to public funds and fee waiver policies that focus on forced destitution. An overview on relevant case-law will also be provided.
