We successfully represented a client in a complex asylum case
On 21/05/2025, the decision of the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania annulled the decision of the Migration Department not to grant asylum to a foreigner who was a minor at the time of filing the application, but became an adult in the course of the examination of the asylum application. The Migration Department unjustifiably assessed the arguments of her asylum application separately from her family members, reasoning that she is an adult. Meanwhile, both the Court of First Instance and the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania supported our arguments and acknowledged that the Migration Department unjustifiably assessed our client's asylum application separately from the family as submitted by an adult. The courts clarified that the request of such a foreigner had to be assessed together with the requests of her family members, i.e. taking into account the arguments of the requests of other family members.
In this case, the client was represented by Lithuanian Legal law firm attorneys Dr. Leonardas Žukauskas and Dr. Ilona Balsevičė.
