JO (Uganda) v Secretary of State for the Home Department; JT (Ivory Coast)v Secretary of State for the Home Department  [2010] EWCA Civ 10; [2010] WLR (D) 8

“Where it was sought to deport or remove a settled migrant who had spent the major part of his/her childhood in the United Kingdom, on the basis that he had committed criminal offences, the Home Secretary would have to show very serious reasons to justify his/her removal which would interfere with the migrant’s Convention right to respect for his private and family life. The decision letter should make it clear whether the decision had been made for the prevention of disorder or crime or for the maintenance of effective immigration control.”
