Steven O Omojudi v United Kingdom: ECHR 24 Nov 2009

The claimant had been convicted of a sex offence and ordered to be deported after his release from prison. He had lived in the UK for 26 years and had a family.
Held: The deportation order was disproportionate. The measures complained of interfered with both the applicant’s private life and his family life, and were not necessary for the prevention of crime. Knowing of the claimant’s offending history the respondent had in 2005 granted indefinite leave to remain, and it followed that the respondent could only rely on subsequent offences. There were none.
