In Rhuppiah v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2016] EWCA Civ 803, the Court of Appeal sought to deal with several matters at once as regards issues of interpretation of Sections 117A to 117D in Part 5A of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (as inserted by the Immigration Act 2014). What was in issue therefore was the public interest question – ie the question whether an interference with a person’s right to respect for private and family life is justified under Article 8(2) of the ECHR.
