Following guidance issued on 23 March 2020 we are making a change to the way we currently work. As of Thursday, 30 April 2020, all Judicial Review applications can be lodged using email.

Judicial Review applications to the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) that require urgent or immediate consideration (Form T483)

There has been no change to the following guidance issued on 23 March 2020 in relation to Judicial Review applications made to the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) that require urgent or immediate consideration.

A. Beginning on 23 March 2020 and until further notice, all applications for Judicial Review that require urgent or immediate consideration (using or including form T483/T484) MUST be filed as follows:

  1. If the applicant is represented or unrepresented, and not in immigration detention or at a removal centre, by email to utiac.londonjr@Justice.gov.uk
  2. If the applicant is unrepresented and is in immigration detention or at a removal centre, there is no change to the existing arrangements for filing by fax.
  3. Attachments to any email must not, in total, exceed 15 MB. If they exceed this limit the email will not be delivered.
  4. This applies to the whole of England and Wales; and accordingly the offices in Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds, London and Manchester will not accept such applications by hard copy.

B. Fees
A party making an application as described in paragraph A above by email will be treated as having promised to pay to the Upper Tribunal, on demand, any fee payable for the application AND will be contacted by the Tribunal for the payment in due course.

Please note for any application as described in paragraph A above, the cut-off time is 4pm Monday to Friday (except bank holidays). If your application is not received by 4pm on a working day, please call the Out of Hours Court service at 020 7947 6260.
