CP (Respondent) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Appellant)
Thursday 2 July 2026
The Secretary of State (SSHD) appeals against an Upper Tribunal decision which allowed the Respondent’s appeal on European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) grounds in the context of deportation.
The Respondent has a criminal history, including convictions for violent offences and rape, and faced deportation. The Secretary of State had refused his protection and human rights claims.
The First-tier Tribunal (FTT) dismissed the Respondent’s appeal. The Upper Tribunal set aside that decision, holding that the FTT had applied the wrong legal test, and allowed the Respondent’s appeal.
