Where a child seeks indefinite leave to remain in the UK, he must show that there is one parent with sole responsibility for his upbringing. That requirement could not be read to impose any requirement that that parent should have had such responsibility for any length of time, and could be satisfied where the care had been exercised only for a short time. The element of what constituted sole responsibility was not merely a question of legal control, but also incorporates questions as to the actual extent of care given.
