The UK has secured a major legal victory after an international arbitration court ruled that it does not have to pay Rwanda more than £100 million in connection with the controversial migrant deportation scheme introduced under Boris Johnson's government.
The decision brings an end to a dispute over whether Britain remained financially liable after Labour scrapped the policy in 2024. Rwanda had argued that the UK breached the agreement by abandoning the partnership and failing to make two annual payments worth £50 million each.
