Hi guys, just need some advice regarding home office and whether we can claim back fees and charges they have charged us. I.e. court costs, barrister charges, solicitors fee's, travel expenses
Basically cutting a long story short, the home office took my husband to tribunal services and we won the case, then home office appealed the decision and asked for permission from upper tribunal which got rejected. My husband is on spouse visa and has now got his visa and passport returned. He also had to report to home office for one year to sign etc.
On the first date of court the representative from the home office stated she has no information regarding the case and she ewas not ready to defend the home office and asked for more time, in this situation the case got adjourned for a further 3 months however we still had to pay the barrister twice due to this.
My main question here is can we claim back expenses, my husbands time to and from the home office to sign in, barrister costs, solicitors fees etc. Total probably amounts to around £4000. We have fuel receipts, and solicitors receipts to prove this.
Any help on this topic would be much appreciated
