Questão jurídica principal
Whether the settlement permit could be revoked for false statements or concealment of material facts in the permit process.
Decisão extraída
Yes. By failing to disclose his two children and the parallel family situation when applying for the settlement permit, the appellant concealed a material fact in a way relevant to the permit decision.
Fundamentação extraída
Under the Aliens Act, concealment of facts that could influence the permit decision justifies revocation if done in order to obtain the permit. The court held that the existence of the children and the circumstances of their mother living with them at the appellant's parents' home should have been disclosed because they pointed to a parallel relationship and would have prompted further scrutiny.
