ILR after 4 years (not 5) for HSMP and maybe for WP (Tier 2)

[ced]

A Judicial Review is brought that all HSMP holders that entered country before 3 April 2006 will be allowed to apply for ILR after 4 years (not 5).

Same rules should be applied for WP (Work Permit - Tier 2) holders who entered country before 3 April 2006, but unfortunately Judicial Review applies only for HSMP holders.

If you are Work Permit - Tier 2 holder that entered country before 3 April 2006 or you simple support idea that same rules should be applied for HSMP and WP holders (as was the case all the time until now), you can sign a petition here (you must be UK resident in order to sign):
