KA (Afghanistan) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2012] EWCA Civ 1014; [2012] WLR (D) 230

“The Secretary of State’s duty to endeavour to trace the family members of an unaccompanied minor seeking asylum was not discharged by merely informing the child of the facilities of the Red Cross. A failure to discharge the duty might be relevant to judicial consideration of an asylum or humanitarian protection claim. Such failure might also be relevant to a consideration of the duty under section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009.”
