(1) JO (Uganda) (2) JT (Ivory Coast) v Secretary of State for the Home Department

February 3, 2010 | No Comments

Held that in deportation cases on grounds of criminal offending, a balance had to be struck under the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 art.8 with a proper appreciation of the special situation of those who had been in the host country since childhood.

The age of offending was also relevant in the analysis. Cases of removal operated within the same legal framework as deportation. The material difference was that they involved the pursuit of different legitimate aims.

This case is available to read here.

Art. 08 Right to Private and Family Life, Asylum & Immigration Law
