Illegal detention pertains to the arrest done by state actors outside the legal authority. The law in the UK places the utmost emphasis on the freedom of individuals, and anybody who thinks that they have been subjected to unlawful detention has the right to seek a solicitor who can fight his/her right and may seek compensation.
A plaintiff in such a scenario must show that they were detained and must claim that the detention was “wrong.” At Harding Mitchell, our expert solicitors will support your case and take legal actions against the authorities that have illegally detained you.
If you as an individual did not commit a crime and were not guilty of any wrongdoings, then the officers cannot arrest you legitimately. Additionally, you cannot be arrested if the police do it on their mere conviction without any substantial proof against you. If you face any such unlawful detention, please feel free to contact our expert solicitors at Harding Mitchell / Avocat Francophone London, who will be a powerful and trustworthy ally in your fight against the State. We are skilled and very experienced in bringing public officials to account.
As far as unlawful detention regarding immigration is concerned, many individuals are illegally held by immigration officials, typically in country-wide Immigration Removal Centres. The Home Office, which oversees these centres, can be the perpetrator of illegal detention. One can claim compensation for unlawful detention if they have been illegally detained in circumstances where they have an ongoing application for asylum with the Home Office. They can also claim compensation if they are an unattended minor, or a victim of trafficking, or a victim of mental illness or impairment.
