I am saying that a person who facilitates the arrival of migrants rescued at sea and brought to the UK port where their only intention is to claim asylum in accordance with that Court of Appeal judgment does not commit an offence under Section 25 of the Immigration Act 1971. The Court of Appeal ruled this because the intention of the migrants is not to enter the UK illegally. I am glad I have clarified that again.
