Free Movement blog - Compensation awarded for hearing cancelled at short notice :
http://www.freemovement.org.uk/compensation-awarded-for-hearing-cancelled-at-short-notice/

'An award of £3,600 plus interest for legal costs and £100 for inconvenience was made to a lady whose hearing was cancelled the day before by the court.

'The immigration system is full of small personal slights. These are the regular unspoken humiliations which reveal, more than any law or ministerial speech, just how little respect the state has for those who wish to live here.'
