Key legal question
Whether the ten-year expulsion under former ANAG was lawful and proportionate despite long residence and family ties
Extracted holding
Yes. Repeated serious offending, significant public interest, and limited integration justified expulsion for ten years.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant had been repeatedly convicted, including serious property and traffic offences, and previous penalties and a warning had not deterred him. His private interests were outweighed by the public interest; his residence did not amount to deep integration or protection under Art. 8 ECHR.
