how many people do you think were effected by the change from 18 to 21 for a settlement visa ? if you use the same figure of 50,000 apps, how many would you guess were under 21 ? - 5,000 ?? yet the gov was forced to change it back to 18.
it only takes one person to take the gov to court/ judicial review or the ECHR and win.
i've seen how HSMP beat the gov, i've seen how IMG's beat the gov ..
