“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.”

“In deciding whether or not the recommendation of the Competition Commission that a proposed merger should be prevented as contrary to the public interest, the Competition Appeal Tribunal was not required to exercise a greater intensity of judicial review than would be applied on a normal judicial review application. S 120(4) of the Competition Act 1998 required the appeal tribunal to apply the same principles as would be applied by a court on an application for judicial review. It would fly in the face of the section’s words if the tribunal, as a hyper-competent specialised tribunal, were required to undertake a more intensive review.”
