LONDON (Reuters) -An asylum seeker who arrived in Britain on a small boat cannot be removed to France pending a full legal challenge, London's High Court ruled on Tuesday, in a setback to the British government's plan to return such migrants.

The 25-year-old Eritrean man, who arrived in Britain on Aug. 12, won an interim injunction that prevented his removal to France on Wednesday morning under a "one in, one out" pilot scheme announced by Britain and France in July.
