MK (A CHILD BY HER LITIGATION FRIEND CAE) V SSHD [2017] EWHC 1365 (ADMIN) [2017] 6 WLUK 215

This test case involved a stateless child (MK) born in the UK in November 2010. Her parents were both nationals of India. MK had made an application for registration as a British citizen under Schedule 2 of the British Nationality Act 1981. It was determined that MK was entitled to register as a British citizen as she was and is stateless as she does not have Indian nationality. This case is important for those children who are born in the UK and who by the age of 5 have no nationality. (http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2017/1365.html)
