‘This is an Administrative Court decision concerns the interaction between immigration deportation procedures and eligibility for Home Detention Curfew (HDC). The court held that a prisoner is not disqualified from HDC merely because they have been served with a “Stage 1” deportation notice. A Stage 1 notice is only a notification of liability to deportation; it is not a “decision to make a deportation order” within the meaning of section 259(a) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003.’
