  Majera (Appellant) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Respondent)
  Permission to Appeal refused
  Case summary:

  The appellant contends that his deportation order should be revoked based on his Article 8 right to a private and family life. The issues in this appeal are: 1) Is public confidence in the deportation system a relevant factor when assessing the proportionality of deportation, when the individual is at low risk of re-offending? 2) Did the Upper Tribunal err in its approach to setting aside findings of fact made by the First-tier Tribunal?
