“If removal from, or refusal of admission to, the United Kingdom pursuant to lawful immigration controls were to be held a disproportionate interference with private or family life under art 8 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms it would be necessary to show more than mere hardship, mere difficulty or mere obstacle: there was a seriousness test which required obstacles or difficulties to go beyond matters of choice or inconvenience.”
