Stonehearst Asylum is an uneven gothic thriller relying on several well timed twists. I did think it descended into silliness a bit too often but I guess the final twist maybe explained that off.The film takes apart the treatment of the insane in late 19th century Britain. The opening scenes take place in Bethlem hospital which led to the derivation of the word bedlam. Eliza Graves (Kate Beckinsale) is a mental health patient prodded and probed rather unmercilessly by the doctor who supposedly cares for her.Later on a young enthusiastic medic, Doctor Edward Newgate (Jim Sturgess) arrives at the remote misty Stonehearst Asylum. He is to work with Dr Silas Lamb (Ben Kingsley) who has for the time an odd and kindly approach to the treatment of the insane. However Newgate finds that some of the staff are behaving strangely and later discovers that the lunatics are running the asylum. Somewhere among the ongoing madness Newgate takes an interest with the beautiful Eliza Graves but he needs to escape for his own safety.The film is based on an Edgar Allen Poe short story but it is a bit too flabby, relies too much on the cruel treatment of the insane and then settles on stereotype behaviour from the inmates. There is enough of a story though to give it a pay off and makes you see why that it attracted a cast that also includes Michael Caine and Brendan Gleeson.

A couple of days before 1899 Christmas, the Oxford new graduate Dr. Edward Newgate (Jim Sturgess) arrives at the Stonehearst Asylum for a training period as alienist. He is received by armed men commanded by Mickey Finn (David Thewlis) that takes him to the office of the superintendent Dr. Silas Lamb (Ben Kingsley), who tells that has not received his presentation letter but welcomes his help. Edward is surprised by the unusual treatment of Dr. Lamb that leaves the interns free in the institution instead of drugged and imprisoned. When he is introduced to the patient Eliza Graves (Kate Beckinsale), he becomes infatuated with her. He learns that she has partially mutilated the face of her abusive husband, who is a powerful man, and has been resident at the asylum since a couple of months ago. One night, Edward overhears a beat from the dungeons and he decides to investigate. He finds a group of ragged incarcerated people and he believes they are patients. However, one woman calls him by his name and he learns that they are the superintendent Benjamin Salt (Michael Caine), doctors, nurses and staff from the Stonehearst Asylum. Further, the lunatics have overthrown them under the command of Lamb. Meanwhile, Eliza advises Edward to leave the asylum while it is possible, but Edward tells that he will only flee with her. What will Edward do?"Eliza Graves" is one of the best films released this year. The engaging thriller has a story with many twists, and the last plot point is totally unexpected. What could the viewer expect from a film with a cast with names such as Ben Kingsley, Michael Caine, Kate Beckinsale, Jim Sturgess, David Thewlis and Brendan Gleeson other than a great film? Director Brad Anderson returns to the good shape of "The Machinist" with another attractive film. Kate Beckinsale is very beautiful, as usual, and has wonderful performance. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Refúgio do Medo" ("Refuge of the Fear")

"The Home Office does not provide details of locations of the accommodation that they use for safeguarding reasons, but they do publish some data on migration support by local authority area at -data-sets/asylum-and-resettlement-datasets#local-authority-data."

In light of the Defendants' insistence that the Court commence a preliminary injunction hearing before expiration of the temporary restraining order, the Court issued an Order on Pending Motions on May 21, 1997, expediting discovery. The Court noted in that Order that, "due to the insistence" of the Defendants, "it is therefore necessary that discovery be expedited in order to insure that a record is fully developed, that Plaintiffs be given an opportunity to fully present their case, and that this Court has all information necessary to render a complete and informed decision on the serious issues before the Court."[9]
On May 27, 1997, the Court commenced the preliminary injunction hearing. The Defendants were unable to fully comply with the discovery within the time period, and Plaintiffs were therefore unable to present a full case on May 27, 1997.[10] On May 27, 1997, after hearing some testimony, the Court entered an Order extending the temporary restraining order through Thursday, June 12, 1997, and referred the matter to the Magistrate Judge to hear the remaining testimony in the case.[11] The extension of the temporary restraining order to June 12, 1997, was consistent with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b).[12]
The Defendants have, consistently, unequivocally, and respectfully asserted: (1) reliance upon Fed.R.Civ.P. 65(b), mandating automatic expiration of the TRO on June 12, 1997, and if extended beyond the twenty-day period of the Rule, their intention to ask the Court of Appeals to treat the stay as a preliminary injunction; and (2) resisted discovery sought by the Plaintiff class on the theory the Plaintiffs are not entitled to get full discovery since procedurally this case is at the preliminary injunction stage and is not a final permanent injunction trial.
*633 Nothing should be inferred from the Court's foregoing recital of the intense activity of counsel that the Court is criticizing Defendants or their counsel for their respectfully stated positions and reliance upon the defenses available to them under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and case law.
As stated in University of Texas v. Camenisch, 451 U.S. 390, 394, 101 S. Ct. 1830, 1833, 68 L. Ed. 2d 175 (1981), the preliminary injunction prerequisite factor of "likelihood of success" on the merits must not be improperly equated with "success" on the merits. Blending "likelihood of success" with "success" would be particularly wrong in the case at bar, given the defense strategy of resisting discovery on the claim that the Plaintiffs are not entitled to get full discovery at this preliminary injunction stage.
Numerous witnesses testified that they came forward and applied for suspension. *639 Ms. Olga Lazo said that she applied based on the news reports because "we were almost 100% sure that we really had suspension."[55] As a result of coming forward, the Nicaraguan class members gave up substantial benefits. Many of them gave up their right to continue to seek political asylum in the United States.[56] At the time of these hearings the INS estimated that there were approximately 15,200 long-term asylum applications pending, of which 80% would be facially eligible for suspension because they were here for seven years or more.[57]
There is no doubt that the Government's conduct created a substantial expectation in the community that, when coupled with the statutory right to seek asylum, created a property or liberty interest in the right to a hearing on their claims for suspension of deportation. On February 21, 1997, as a result of the change in policy by the Defendants, Plaintiffs were deprived of the right to have a hearing on their claims for suspension of deportation. As a result of the change of policy, class members had their applications for suspension of deportation "pretermitted."[58] Class members were denied suspension of deportation.[59] The BIA began dismissing appeals because Matter of N-J-B pretermitted their cases.[60] Class members whose cases are now pending will be subject to pretermission.[61] One lawyer testified that over 250 clients of his were no longer eligible for suspension of deportation in light of the Defendants' change of policy.[62] 2ff7e9595c
