Summary/Abstract: Unlike most European countries, the United Kingdom (UK) has not legislated a statutory upper time limit regarding the period an individual can be held in immigration detention (All Party Parliamentary Group on Refugees, 2016). In fact, the UK detains three times more individuals in immigration detention as compared to other European Member States (Association of Visitors of Immigration Detainees, 2019).
