Section 5 was extended by section 6A of the 1997 Act so that it applies to reviews under sections 2C, 2D, 2E of that Act as it applies to appeals under sections 2 and 2B of that Act and section 5 was also extended by section 97A(2K) of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (c. 41) and by section 18 of the Immigration Act 2014 (c. 22). Section 5(5A) was inserted by paragraph 10(2) of Schedule 9 to the Immigration Act 2014. When it comes into force, section 66 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 (c. 2) will amend section 8 of the 1997 Act to extend the Lord Chancellor’s power to make rules so that it also includes rules regulating, and prescribing the procedure to be followed on, applications to the Special Immigration Appeals Commission for the grant of a certificate under section 7B of the 1997 Act."
