Case resolution

The UKBA Case Resolution Directorate was established in 2006 to clear the backlog of asylum cases still outstanding from before the commencement of its New Asylum Model. It was estimated at that time that there were 450,000 cases to be resolved. A plan has been put in place to clear them all by July 2011.

Whilst it is clearly desirable that these cases should be finally resolved the Refugee Council does have concerns about the way in which people may learn about how their case is to be resolved and whether they will have the ability to raise outstanding issues in the time allowed.
