United Kingdom and Colonies claiming patriality by marriage to a person to whom section 2(1)(a) or (v) applies, or if he or she holds a certificate of patriality. A person who holds a current entry clearance or who is a person named in a current work permit and who is entitled to appeal against refusal of leave to enter may also appeal before he is removed from the United Kingdom. To assist him in deciding whether to appeal he should be given facilities to communicate with friends, relatives, a legal adviser, the United Kingdom Immigrants Advisory Service or his Consul or High Commission as he may wish. In such a case, if notice of appeal is lodged, the Immigration Officer should provide the adjudicator and the appellant, as soon as possible, with a written summary of the facts of the case and the reasons for the decision. When it is not practicable to supply a written statement, the representative of the Immigration Service at the hearing will outline the case.

82. In all other cases, irrespective of the passenger's national status, it should be explained to him that his right of appeal is exercisable only after he has left the United Kingdom.

83. Where a passenger is admitted but is aggrieved by a time limit or condition imposed, or it is clear that it will leave him dissatisfied, it should be explained that his proper course is to apply to the Home Office for variation of his leave, and that he will have a right of appeal if variation is refused, provided he applies before the time limit on his stay expires.
