Question No. 1

With respect to the decision of (third party support r281 (v)) [2009] UKSC 16) that has been made by the Supreme Court supports the country's economy as the migrants from the other countries sometimes becomes burden on the economy. The section (v) of rule 281 that was passed in the United Kingdom was in line with the case of the immigrant who called his family members to the United Kingdom through the legal ways but was not able to support them in a way he should.
