Key legal question
Whether the revocation of the settlement permit was lawful despite the appellant's long residence and refugee status
Extracted holding
The revocation was lawful because the appellant had repeatedly and seriously offended, including convictions exceeding one year and conduct seriously endangering public order.
Extracted reasoning
The Court held that both statutory grounds were met: long custodial sentences and very serious threats to public order. His repeated offences, drug-related conduct, and failure to reform outweighed his private interests.
