I agree with you about the conflict of interest thing. I guess I've just gotten used to how shitty it is here, and how flagrant the problems are.

Remember that I have been a law student for the better part of six years, both during my time in Malaysia and in Britain. The last thing I ever want to do is flout the law... And, even if something were shitty to the point of being unredeemable, my going ahead with it will not excuse me or make me right in the minds of people observing.
At all times, I want to do what is right, in spite of what intense fears I have. I'm frightened, but what other choice do I have? Cower and be a plaything / punching-bag of my country of origin as I always have been?
Man, I don't know you well, just that you're an awesome hybrid electronic/real-world musician and you play one of my favorite instruments, bodhran. I think I've only spoken to you once on the forums, but I just want to say I wish you luck with all this. No one deserves to deal with bureaucrats for more than a phone-call at a time IMO. I hope you're able to live with some peace and simplicity soon. Hang in there!
I will do. To be honest, dealing with 'crats in my case has extended for a long time, from being singled out as a conscript for my ethnicity, to writing letters to Parliament, to dealing with the Home Office... It is frightening, and I hope this peace and simplicity comes soon.
Take care. Keep close to warm things in this chilling broken world.
I will do my best. Right now, I leave the lodging of this appeal into the hands of my solicitor, who believes in me still. Your prayers and thoughts are much appreciated. <3

So is there an appeal process you can bring a lawyer/solicitor to? Or do you have to sue them outright? I hope you can find a guy (or gal) who knows the judge, who will likely be proceeding over the matter - that's important. Or if that fails, one who has a successful track record (more wins than losses).

There is an appeal process where you can bring a solicitor to. It's not really a trial, it's more of an inquest / tribunal, so there is no lawsuit as such. BUT: win this, and you can get the Home Office to reimburse your court fees etc (but not your solicitor's fees). We're still going to fight regardless.
I would rather have my appeal clean; having someone who knows the judge is only going to mean conflict of interest, which will work against anyone who uses that tactic. The other thing: we don't know who the judge will be. And that is only fair... I have always worked within the ambit of the law of England and Wales; I don't intend to flout it anytime soon.
