Tutor biographies:
Mala is a solicitor at Wilson Solicitors LLP. Her practice covers a wide range of immigration, asylum and nationality law, with particular emphasis on applications based on partnership, family and private life; asylum on the basis of sexual identity; and the rights of Europeans and their family members. Mala also volunteers for Waterloo Legal Advice Service and UKLGIG and is a volunteer lawyer for the charity “Here for Good”.

Mala is one of ILPA’s 12 well-being ambassadors, focusing on improving well-being among immigration practitioners. Mala will be delivering training sessions on behalf of ILPA on the submission of fee waiver applications and on Article 8.
 

Vijay “undertakes a wide range of immigration and asylum work, most notably on behalf of vulnerable adults and children”(Chambers and Partners, 2019). Vijay recently returned from his sixth trip to the island of Samos in Greece, where he provided legal aid to asylum seekers and drafted numerous applications to the European Court of Human Rights in relation to age-disputed unaccompanied minors, and exceptionally secured “interim measures” against the Greek government in relation to breaches of Article 3 ECHR. 

Vijay regularly engages in age assessment challenges and is particularly well placed to do so in light of his experience in immigration and asylum law and civil litigation, including actions against the police. Vijay also draws on his significant public law expertise, including two successful challenges in the Supreme Court, in bringing public law challenges in relation to all levels of decision-making. He also advises on claims for damages, under the common law and the HRA 1998. He is a contributor to the 9th edition of Macdonald’s Immigration Law and Practice.
