IMMIGRATION
Permission to Appeal application lodgedCase summary:A parent’s relationship with a child resident in the UK can create a right to remain in the UK under Article 8 of the ECHR. The question on this appeal is what approach the First-Tier Tribunal (“FTT”) should adopt where there are simultaneous immigration proceedings in which a person resists removal from the UK on the basis of their relationship with a child and family court proceeding in which that person seeks access to (or custody of) that child. (1) In such circumstances, should immigration proceedings always be adjourned pending resolution of family court proceedings except where the person resisting removal is a foreign criminal (or there are other exceptional circumstances)? (2) If immigration proceedings need not always be adjourned, what approach should the FTT take to factual and evaluative questions in-dispute before the family court?
