Court of Appeal rejects appeal of Albanian nationals

An appeal raising issues about the applicability of EU data protection laws to asylum seekers has been rejected by a 2/1 majority of the Court of Appeal, write Ann O'Loughlin.

The appeal by two Albanian nationals, who came here in 2014, arose from a decision by a Refugee Appeals Tribunal that the UK is the EU member state responsible for deciding their applications for asylum and their applications should be transferred there.
