Key legal question
Whether the extension of preparatory detention was lawful under immigration detention rules.
Extracted holding
Yes. The appellant had applied for asylum only upon arrest, with no explanation for the delay, so detention to secure removal proceedings and its six-week extension were permissible.
Extracted reasoning
Article 75 lit. f AuG creates a presumption of abuse when an asylum request is filed only after arrest or in close temporal connection with removal-related enforcement. No less intrusive measure appeared suitable to ensure availability for authorities and prevent absconding.
