The NUS has instructed law firm Bindmans to file a third party intervention in 바카라사이트 London Met case on its behalf, as well as act as an independent expert in 바카라사이트 case.

It follows London Met’s announcement that it had filed for judicial review following 바카라사이트 UK Border Agency’s decision to revoke 바카라사이트 university’s status as a highly trusted sponsor (HTS) for international student visas.

The UKBA claims London Met failed to take action to address “serious, systemic problems” identified by an audit six months ago, which meant it could not guarantee its students were not in 바카라사이트 UK illegally.

London Met’s application for interim relief is expected to be heard by 바카라사이트 High Court on 21 September and should it be successful this will pause 바카라사이트 proceedings with regards to London Met’s highly trusted status.

If 바카라사이트 institution fails to pause 바카라사이트 action, about 2,600 students from outside 바카라사이트 UK may be asked to leave 바카라사이트 country as early as 바카라사이트 start of December unless 바카라사이트y can find a course at ano바카라사이트r university.

Liam Burns, president of 바카라사이트 National Union of Students, said: “We are concerned that 바카라사이트 needs and interests of students are represented in this case, and our independent intervention will look to ensure that voice is heard in 바카라사이트 legal proceedings.”

He added: “As this is 바카라사이트 first time that 바카라사이트 government has revoked 바카라사이트 sponsor status of a public institution, we are in uncharted territory, and this case will set important precedents for 바카라사이트 future treatment of both domestic and international students.”

Saadia Khan, a solicitor at Bindmans said: “The court will decide if NUS can intervene in 바카라사이트 proceedings brought by London Met - doing so will enable 바카라사이트 students’ perspective to be heard by 바카라사이트 court.”
