In December 2003, Binomugisha's
claim for asylum was refused, as was his
claim that to remove him from the UK would violate his rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (the Convention).

claim for asylum (he was making an Art 8
claim).
The key points in the court's decision were as follows: (i) It referred to the High Court's decision in R (AW) v Croydon LBC [2005] EWHC 2950 (Admin), [2005] All ER (D) 251 (Dec) which held that where the fresh grounds

claim and operate on the assumption that there is no impediment to the individual leaving the UK.

claim to remain in the UK if: (i) the individual is one of the more vulnerable individuals who, as
asylum seekers, were accommodated by local authorities; and (ii) the purported fresh
claim is not manifestly unfounded.
