Schedule 2: Asylum and Immigration Tribunal: Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provision Section 31: Seaman and aircrews right of appeal
137.Section 31 restores the right of appeal for a small number of people, crew members of ships and aircraft, who are to be removed from the United Kingdom under 1971 Immigration Act powers relating specifically to crew members of ships and aircraft. The right of appeal is subject to section 92 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, and in common with other rights of appeal against removal decisions cannot be exercised in the UK unless an asylum or human rights claim has been made here, or the crew member claims that the decision breaches certain Community Treaty Rights.
