“If a statement of an immigration policy was flexible and stated that an immigration rule relating to leave to enter and remain in the United Kingdom might, depending on the circumstances of each case, be relaxed if certain conditions were satisfied, the statement itself was not an immigration rule and therefore the Secretary of State was not required to lay it before Parliament in accordance with section 3(2) of the Immigration Act 1971.”

“Where the Upper Tribunal had properly directed itself as to its approach on an appeal from a determination of the First–tier Tribunal and had arrived at a conclusion which was open to it, the decision of the Upper Tribunal contained no material error of law and so the Court of Appeal should not allow an appeal from that decision, even if the court might have been more (or less) generous in its approach to the determination of the First-tier Tribunal.”

The employment tribunal had been entitled to find that, where the employer had received an unproved and untested allegation of an overseas child sex offence against the employee, who had not disclosed it to the employer prior to his appointment, the resulting breakdown of trust had constituted ‘some other substantial reason’ within the meaning of section 98(1)(b) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 summarily to dismiss the employee in order to prevent the employer’s reputation being damaged.”

“In a case in which a Roman Catholic parish priest was said to have abused a young girl, and the question arose, as to potential vicarious liability, whether he was an employee, independent contractor, or in some other manner to be considered akin to an employee, the law as to vicarious liability was to be extended such that the question should be approached in a broader way, and also by reference to several tests, looking, inter alia, to whether the applicable status was akin to employment, and whether it would be just and fair to impose vicarious liability.”
