Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible for C. and D. under the old Foreign Nationals Act and Article 8 ECHR
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible for C. and D. because they lacked standing, were over 18 for the decisive periods, and could not derive a right from Article 8 ECHR.
Extracted reasoning
Only E. could potentially rely on Article 17(2) third sentence LSEE. C. no longer lived with the mother, and D. was already 22 when the mother obtained settlement. The ECHR family-life argument failed because the adult children were not dependent and no exceptional private-life situation was shown.
