Penningtons and Brick Court Chambers’ Richard Gordon QC have helped secure a temporary reprieve for overseas students of London Metropolitan University as the university was today (21 September) granted permission to seek a judicial review of the ban on its recruitment of overseas students.

Penningtons dispute resolution partner Noel McMichael and immigration partner Pat Saini advised the university, instructing Brick Court’s Gordon and Maya Lester as counsel as the university bid to challenge the UK Border Agency (UKBA) decision to revoke its licence to sponsor international students.
