Questão jurídica principal
Whether the revocation of the settlement permit was lawful and proportionate under immigration law and Article 8 ECHR.
Decisão extraída
The permit revocation was lawful because the applicant had been sentenced to a long custodial term and, after balancing all circumstances, the measure was proportionate.
Fundamentação extraída
A prison sentence of 48 months satisfies the statutory ground for revocation. Given the seriousness of the criminal record, weak social and professional integration, persistent financial problems, and a further police report after release, the public interest in removal outweighed the private and family interests under both the Immigration Act and Article 8 ECHR.
