AS (Somalia) v Secretary of State for the Home Department
House of Lords
“The statutory provision that on hearing an appeal against a refusal of entry clearance the adjudicator or tribunal could have regard only to the circumstances appertaining at the time of the decision to refuse and could have no regard to any subsequent change in the applicant’s circumstances, was not incompatible with article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, even though its effect could lead to delay in bringing a family together in the United Kingdom.”
