Windrush descendants lose high court fight to expand scheme

Court rejects case brought by four people who arrived in UK as adults to join family members

Four Windrush generation descendants have lost their high court battle for the scheme for victims to be widened to include them.

Yvonne Williams, Yvonne Smith, Jennifer Ulett-Hall and Damian Gabrielle argued in the high court that the Windrush scheme should be extended beyond its current parameters to include descendants of the Windrush generation such as them.
