“Deportation cases, where the aim was the prevention or disorder and crime, did not call for a materially different approach from that required in ordinary removal cases, where the aim was the maintenance of effective immigration control. The issues arose under the same legal framework and involved the same essential question as to whether, if expulsion would interfere with rights protected by art 8(1) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, such interference was proportionate to the legitimate aim pursued.”

“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.”
