Catchwords
Immigration - Deportation - Refugee - Asylum - Immigration Appeal Tribunal finding deportation of asylum seeker not leading to interference with right to family life - Whether tribunal in error.
The Case
The adjudicator, in concluding that to return the claimant to Turkey would be a disproportionate interference with his right to family life in the United Kingdom, had made an error of law in failing to direct himself that there would only be a small minority of exceptional cases where a decision made in accordance with immigration control would be disproportionate. The Immigration Appeal Tribunal had, accordingly, been entitled to allow the Secretary of State's appeal against that decision.
