Section 50 will introduce a targeted statutory timeframe for the determination of appeals in the Tribunal from non-detained persons who have been convicted of an offence and who are subject to a deportation decision.
	This section will insert section 86B ‘Timeframe for determination of appeal brought by certain non-detained appellants liable to deportation’ after section 86A of the NIAA 2002.
	Section 86B(1) specifies that the statutory timeframe applies to appeals against a refusal of a protection claim or a human rights claim or a decision to revoke a person's protection status, as specified by section 82(1) and 82(2) of the NIAA 2002.
	Section 86B(2) outlines that the statutory timeframe will apply if, at the time the appeal is instituted, the appellant is not detained, has been convicted of an offence (whether in or outside the United Kingdom) and is liable to deportation under section 3(5)(a) of the Immigration Act 1971.
	Section 86B(3) sets out that the Tribunal must, except where the Tribunal considers that it is not reasonably practicable to do so, determine the appeal and give notice of its determination to the parties before the end of the period of 24 weeks beginning with the day after that on which the appeal is instituted.
	Section 86B(4) stipulates that the statutory timeframe does not apply or, as the case may be, ceases to apply, if the appeal must be brought, or must be continued, from outside the United Kingdom.
	Section 50(2) and (3) amend the Immigration (Citizens' Rights Appeals) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/61) and the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/1052) to apply the new section 86B in circumstances where an appeal is brought under those Regulations by a non-detained person who has been convicted of an offence and who is liable to deportation.
