Explanatory note

These Rules amend the Immigration Appeals (Procedure) Rules 1984 (S.I. 1984/2041) so as to prescribe the procedure to be followed in connection with applications for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal (or to the Court of Session) against the final determination of the Immigration Appeal Tribunal of an appeal against a decision made under the Immigration Act 1971. The right to bring such an appeal is provided by section 9 of the Asylum and Immigration Appeals Act 1993. The procedure to be followed in connection with the making of other appeals against decisions made under the Immigration Act 1971 is prescribed in those 1984 Rules.

The procedure to be followed in connection with the making of appeals under the Asylum and Immigration Appeals Act 1993 is contained in the Asylum Appeals (Procedure) Rules 1993.
