Windrush victim Trevor Donald brought the case after he was refused entry to the UK despite living there for 43 years.
The government's decision to drop recommendations made following the Windrush review was unlawful, the High Court has ruled. Windrush victim Trevor Donald, 68, brought legal action against the Home Office after the government decided not to proceed with all the recommendations made by an independent review into the scandal. Lawyer Wendy Williams published the Windrush Lessons Learned Review in 2020, with all 30 recommendations initially accepted by then home secretary Priti Patel.
' Mr Donald, who was born in Jamaica in 1955, lived in the UK for 43 years after arriving in 1967. Upon returning to the UK after a visit to Jamaica in 2010, he was refused entry - which is when he became a Windrush victim, his lawyers said. He was eventually allowed to re-enter the UK after the scandal emerged in 2018 and was given indefinite leave to remain before being granted British citizenship in January 2022.
