Husson v Secretary of State for the Home Department

Where the Home Office delays issuing a biometric residence permit confirming a migrant's right to work, it is at least arguable that the migrant may have a claim for damages under section 8 of the Human Rights Act 1998 for breach of Article 8 ECHR and/or in the tort of negligence on the basis of an assumption of responsibility, such that the claims should not be struck out at the arguability stage.
