The home office have been classifying cases as "nullified" when they should have been classified as "deprivation" in relations to British Citizenship. As such this has been found to be unlawful and cases identified under the freedom of information act. The main differences being that if nullified entire families could have their citizenship removed without the right of appeal. From the information we have come across from 2007 to 2017 at least 262 cases have been identified as unlawful. As they should have been identified as "deprivation" which not only has a right of appeal but also can be a case by case basis. For example someone illegally entering the UK in 2000 marrying someone years later. Would find their partner is entitled to keep their citizenship because of being unaware of the illegal entry prior to their meeting, marriage and citizenship.
