LA (Para 289A: Causes Of Breakdown) Pakistan: AIT 27 May 2009

AIT In the light of AG (India) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2007] EWCA Civ 1534, when deciding if an appellant who is the victim of domestic violence has proved that the ‘relationship was caused to permanently break down before the end of that period as a result of domestic violence’ the Tribunal must be careful to assess the evidence in the round, looking at the totality of the evidence and remembering that a broken marriage may have ended before the parties separate and the marriage may have broken down as a result of domestic violence even if other grounds are given in matrimonial proceedings or raised before the Tribunal.
