Abstract

Abstract Where an asylum seeker has passed through a country which is deemed to be safe, his claim for asylum will not be decided in the United Kingdom but he will be removed to the safe ‘third country’. That country will then decide their claim for asylum. Under the 2004 Act, the Home Office will issue a certificate under section 33(1) and parts 2, 3, 4, or 5 of Schedule 3 to the 2004 Act which enables an asylum seeker to be removed the a safe ‘third country’. This system has been in force since 1 October 2004. We deal below with the four categories of third country cases created by the 2004 Act and we deal with the procedures which enable applicants to challenge certificates issued under the Act.
