Majera (appellant) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (respondent)

Wednesday 29 October 2025

In a determination promulgated on 5th October 2023 the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) (UT) found that the First Tier Tribunal (FTT) had erred in law in not considering all circumstances to assess whether there were very compelling circumstances over and above the exceptions. It set aside the decision of the FTT and directed that there be a further hearing in the UT.

By a determination promulgated on 2nd May 2024 the UT dismissed the appeal after conducting an Article 8 ECHR balancing exercise. The deportation order should not be revoked despite the lapse of time since the offence. Very compelling circumstances over and above the S.117C exceptions were not shown and there were not very significant obstacles to integration in Rwanda.
