Laing v The Queen [2013] UKPC 14; [2013] WLR (D) 198
Although the giving of reasons for dismissing an appeal against conviction was an important part of an appellant’s entitlement to a fair hearing of the appeal, if the conviction were otherwise sound it did not have to be quashed simply because of the failure to give reasons.

SS (Nigeria) v Secretary of State for the Home Department: [2013] EWCA Civ 550; [2013] WLR (D) 192
“A claim under article 8 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms made in reliance on the interests of a child with British citizenship by a foreign criminal seeking to resist deportation under section 32 of the UK Borders Act 2007 needed to be very strong to prevail given the pressing public interest in removal and the great weight to be attached to the policy of deporting foreign criminals by virtue of its origin in primary legislation. Only in extremely rare circumstances should a tribunal exercise an inquisitorial function on its own initiative in evaluating the interests of such a child.”
