The court ruled against the home secretary in the case
Relatives of a woman caught up in the Windrush scandal can apply for permission to live in Britain without paying thousands of pounds in fees, the High Court has ruled.
The court ruled charging the family of Lynda Mahabir would be a "colossal interference" in her human rights.
The fees would cost more than £20,000.
Mrs Mahabir, 52, was unable to live in the UK until 2018 and says the government didn't correctly record her immigration status in the 1970s.
Her case was similar to thousands of other Windrush victims.
