Linked UK licence cases separate procedural fairness from the remedy

Two linked UK Supreme Court applications concern businesses challenging the loss of sponsor licences. The official pages link the cases by legal issue, but they remain separate proceedings. Neither page records a permission grant or a merits decision at the 4 November check.

J’s Supermarket asks whether fairness required an express allegation of dishonesty so that the business could answer it before its licence was revoked. The official summary describes concerns that sponsored employees’ actual duties differed from the skilled roles stated in their sponsorship documents.

Prestige Social Care Services raises a different question: whether section 31(2A) of the UK Senior Courts Act 1981 requires refusal of relief when the outcome was highly likely to be substantially the same without procedural unfairness. Its case summary reports that the lower courts dismissed its challenge despite an identified error of law.

Prestige’s application was issued on 5 October and J’s Supermarket’s on 8 October. J’s expressly records a permission application lodged; Prestige lists a permission-stage origin and permission section without an outcome. The pages frame issues for possible appeals, not new rules already decided by the Supreme Court.
