Category: Carriers’ Liability

Home Office immigration powers extend to the detention and sale of transporters. Under statutory warrant there is both civil and criminal jurisdiction in relation to the liability of carriers of persons subject to immigration control who lack the necessary authorisation to lawfully enter the United Kingdom on arrival. Where a civil penalty is imposed and remains unpaid, the Secretary of State has swinging powers to detain a transporter (even one other than the one used that gave rise to the penalty) and, where the penalty remains unpaid, to sell it. The use of those powers may operate even against persons not within the UK territorial jurisdiction.
