At issue was a decision of the Home Secretary to deport on grounds of public policy a foreign national married to an EU national with a right of establishment in the United Kingdom. The substantive issue was whether the decision of the IAT to uphold the adjudicator’s rejection of an appeal against a decision to deport the appellant is sustainable. The applicant had failed in his asylum claim, and in his time here been repeatedly been convicted and imprisoned. He had now married an English woman. The Home Secretary had concluded this to be a marriage of convenience.
Held: The IAT had failed to look at the issues it was required to consider. ‘it must be considered on the issue of whether the threat to a fundamental interest to society is such that it is proportionate in all the circumstances to deport the appellant. Next, the issue of proportionality arises under Article 8 of the ECHR.’ The appeal was allowed and the matter remitted to a different tribunal.
