AM (Jamaica) v Secretary of State for the Home Department: CA 26 Nov 2008

The appellant had been convicted for several serious offences. He sought to appeal against an order for his removal from the UK on completion of his term in prison, saying that it would infringe his right to a family life.
Held: Given later cases, it was clear that the judge should have more formally considered the effect on the appellant’s family life. Remitted for reconsideration.
