CORRIGENDUM
_________________

Please note the following amendment in the Judgment handed down on 27 February 2015:

(1) At the beginning of paragraph 31 on page 8, add “The appellant was not a simple over-stayer but subject to a removal order.  The Court of Appeal in Usman Butt at paragraph 50 considered taking up employment when a removal or deportation order was in force a serious aggravating feature.  As a removal order is considered to be an aggravating factor an enhancement should be made to 15 months’ imprisonment from 12 months.”
