Overview

• Government lawyers successfully challenged a tribunal decision by Judge Fiona Beach allowing 26-year-old Christian Quadjovie to remain in the UK, arguing it was made against the weight of evidence.
• Records show Beach served as a director of Asylum Aid from 2004 to 2007 and volunteered for Bail for Immigration Detainees, roles she stepped back from when first appointed as a part-time judge in 2006.
• Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick has formally requested that the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office examine whether Beach disclosed her previous affiliations.
• A judiciary spokesman defended the impartiality of the bench, affirming that judges swear an oath to decide cases solely on evidence and the law.
• The outcome of the referral remains pending and no formal findings or disciplinary actions have been announced so far.
