89.Subsection (4) substitutes section 84 of the 2002 Act with a new provision specifying the grounds on which an appeal can be brought under section 82. Where an appeal is brought against the refusal of a protection claim, the appeal must be brought on one or more of the following grounds: that removal would breach the UK’s obligations under the Refugee Convention, removal would breach the UK’s obligations to those eligible for a grant of humanitarian protection, or removal would be unlawful under section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998. An appeal against the refusal of a human rights claim may only be brought on the ground that the decision is unlawful under section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998. An appeal against the revocation of refugee status or humanitarian protection may only be brought on the grounds that removal would breach the UK’s obligations under the Refugee Convention or the UK’s obligations to those eligible for a grant of humanitarian protection.
