If there is a huge backlog for appeals, the sensible thing to do is reduce the need for appeals. Some 70% of appeals are successful. That seems to be because some Home Office negative decisions are based on incomplete evidence and prejudice.
Some immigration solicitors are achieving high success rates at the Statement of Evidence Stage with the Home Office by supplying detailed witness statements and medicolegal reports and possibly country reports that are more informative than those previously available to the Home Office. Funding for this might reduce the need for funding for tribunal hearings, as well as being advantageous to the mental health of the asylum seekers.
