Question juridique clé
Whether the first-instance confirmation of preparatory detention on 1 February 2013 was lawful.
Solution extraite
The initial preparatory detention was not manifestly unlawful, because the applicant had entered illegally, had no residence permit, and had filed an asylum request shortly after arrest to forestall removal.
Motifs extraits
Art. 75(1)(f) AuG applied; the asylum request could be viewed as an abusive attempt to prevent imminent removal, so detention could secure the pending removal procedure.
