What UK Immigration Act 2014: Removal Powers, Appeal Reform and the Hostile-Environment Controls (Right to Rent, Bank Accounts, Driving Licences) requires
The Immigration Act 2014 restructured United Kingdom removal and appeal powers and introduced the so-called hostile-environment controls that require private actors to check immigration status, administered by the Home Office. Part 1 deals with removal and enforcement: section 1 provides for the removal of persons unlawfully in the United Kingdom, section 2 restricts the removal of children and their parents, section 4 confers enforcement powers and section 5 restricts the detention of unaccompanied children. Part 2 reforms appeals: section 15 sets out the right of appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (narrowed to human-rights and protection claims), section 17 governs the place from which an appeal may be brought or continued, and section 19 requires courts and tribunals to have regard to the public interest considerations in Article 8 ECHR cases. Part 3 creates the access-to-services controls: in Chapter 1 on residential tenancies, section 21 defines persons disqualified by immigration status from renting (the right to rent), section 22 prohibits leasing premises to a disqualified person, and section 23 provides for landlord penalty notices; section 38 establishes the immigration health charge; in Chapter 2, section 40 prohibits banks from opening current accounts for disqualified persons; and on driving licences, section 46 imposes a residence requirement for the grant of a licence and section 47 provides for revocation on grounds of immigration status. The Act is the framework that pushed immigration-status checking into housing, banking, healthcare and driving, and narrowed the immigration appeal right.
