I15Interim measures of the European Court of Human Rights
1
This section applies where the European Court of Human Rights indicates an interim measure in proceedings relating to the intended removal of a person to the Republic of Rwanda under, or purportedly under, a provision of, or made under, the Immigration Acts.
2
It is for a Minister of the Crown (and only a Minister of the Crown) to decide whether the United Kingdom will comply with the interim measure.
3
Accordingly, a court or tribunal must not have regard to the interim measure when considering any application or appeal which relates to a decision to remove the person to the Republic of Rwanda under a provision of, or made under, the Immigration Acts.

In this section—
a
a reference to “the Immigration Acts” does not include the Illegal Migration Act 2023 (see instead section 55 of that Act);
b
a reference to a Minister of the Crown is to a Minister of the Crown acting in person.
