(1)The duty in section 2(1) or the power in section 4(2) applies in relation to a person who meets the four conditions in section 2 regardless of whether—

(b)the person makes a human rights claim,
(c)the person claims to be a victim of slavery or a victim of human trafficking as defined by regulations made by the Secretary of State under section 69 of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022, or
(d)the person makes an application for judicial review in relation to their removal from the United Kingdom under this Act.

(5)A human rights claim is within this subsection if it is a claim that removal of a person from the United Kingdom to—
(a)a country of which the person is a national, or
(b)a country or territory in which the person has obtained a passport or other document of identity,
would be unlawful under section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998 (public authority not to act contrary to Convention).
