WL (Congo) v Home Secretary was a 2011 legal case decided by the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. The case decided that the unlawful imprisonment of foreign prisoners gives rise to the tort of false imprisonment without the need to prove damages even where it is demonstrated that they would have been imprisoned had power been lawfully exercised.[1]
