A striking thing about this excellent judgment on rights of trafficking victims is the way the Home Office had previously persuaded the courts (in the case of O) to find huge delays in the system weren’t unlawful, because (it said) it was devoting resources to improving matters > https://twitter.com/MirandaButler3/status/1334460481470427138

That turned out to be flatly untrue: delays actually increased (as the judge finds) “sharply” to 462 days, compared to a timescale supposed to be just over 45 days, & the applicant in this latest case had waited 595 days, plus 211 days more for a decision on her leave to remain >

There is a pattern here: see also Windrush: I’m genuinely struggling to think of another department which would get away so easily with bland assurances that it’s addressing fundamental problems in its systems, only to do absolutely nothing to put those assurances into effect.
