IMMIGRATION
These Regulations provide for the manner in which a person may be notified of an immigration decision for the purposes of section 8 of the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc) Act 2004 (“the 2004 Act”) and the time at which a person will be treated as having received the notification. Section 8 of the 2004 Act provides that a deciding authority, in determining whether to believe a statement made by or on behalf of a person who makes an asylum or human rights claim shall take into account certain specified behaviours as damaging a claimant’s credibility. Section 8(5) of the 2004 Act provides that one of those behaviours is making an asylum or human rights claim after being notified of an immigration decision, unless the claim relies wholly on matters arising after the notification. An immigration decision is defined in section 8(7) of the 2004 Act.
