Fijian-born British soldiers lose latest legal fight to stay in UK

High court rejects call for judicial review of eight veterans' immigration case

Eight Fijian-born soldiers who served with the British army in Iraq and Afghanistan have been rebuffed in their initial attempt to seek a judicial review of the handling of their immigration claims.

A high court judge said the Commonwealth veterans were out of time" - but the veterans are able to demand a fuller oral hearing in December, where they will make a final attempt to win the right to remain in the UK.
