Key legal question
Whether the expulsion order based on the drug trafficking conviction was lawful and proportionate
Extracted holding
The expulsion was lawful and proportionate; the public interest in removing the appellant outweighed his private interests.
Extracted reasoning
For serious drug offenses the court applies a strict approach under Art. 10(1)(a) ANAG, aligned with Article 8 ECHR. The appellant’s long residence, family ties, and post-release conduct did not outweigh the severe public safety interest.
