Ojaleye (Respondent) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Appellant)
Tuesday 14 July 2026
The Secretary of State for the Home Department (SSHD) appeals the Upper Tribunal’s decision, promulgated on 28 March 2025, dismissing the SSHD’s appeal against the First-tier Tribunal’s allowance of the Respondent’s human rights claim in the context of deportation.
The Respondent became subject to a deportation order following a seven-year prison sentence for COVID-related fraud, having played a leading role in abusing the Bounce Back Loan Scheme for financial gain.
The First-tier Tribunal (FTT) allowed the Respondent’s human rights appeal, finding that deportation would be unduly harsh on his children, particularly those in need of high support
The Secretary of State appealed, and the Upper Tribunal found no material error of law.
