Responsible actor. First-tier Tribunal considering a grant to a person within the specified detention category.
Verify detention under the exact paragraph identified in paragraph 3(3).
Record arrival day as day one of the eight-day restriction.
Distinguish the end of this restriction from actual availability of a bail hearing.
Use only the statutory arrival-based grant restriction in paragraph 3(3). Do not substitute detention start or apply this rule to a different detention power.
Immigration Act 2016, Schedule 10, paragraph 3How does this provision count time?
- Establish paragraph 3(3) applies.
- Enumerate arrival day through day eight.
- Identify the following day as the earliest date free of this particular restriction.
- Check removal consent and all other bail requirements.
Count arrival as day one. The eight-day restriction ends after arrival plus seven days. The earliest following day is arrival plus eight days.
This substantive restriction does not extend merely because its last day or the earliest grant day falls on a weekend or Christmas shutdown. Do not import a filing deadline rollover.

Questions about this procedure
When does the specific eight-day arrival restriction on a Tribunal bail grant end?
Is arrival day included?
Yes. Paragraph 3(3) says eight days beginning with the date of arrival.
Immigration Act 2016, Schedule 10, paragraph 3Why is the earliest date arrival plus eight rather than seven?
The Tribunal is barred until after the full eight-day period. Arrival plus seven is still day eight; the following date is day nine.
Immigration Act 2016, Schedule 10, paragraph 3Does a Saturday earliest date move to Monday?
The statutory threshold does not itself move. Whether a hearing or grant can be arranged on Saturday is a different procedural fact.
Immigration Act 2016, Schedule 10, paragraph 3Is this a deadline to submit Form B1?
No. The provision limits the Tribunal’s power to grant bail for a specified category.
Immigration Act 2016, Schedule 10, paragraph 3Can I enter the day I was later detained?
No. The event is arrival. A different detention-start date changes the result incorrectly.
Immigration Act 2016, Schedule 10, paragraph 3Does the calculator establish that bail will be granted?
No. Other statutory restrictions, the paragraph 3 considerations and the Tribunal’s decision still apply.
