“The Secretary of State’s apparently untrammelled discretion contained in s 42(2) of the Mental Health Act 1983 to discharge a patient detained in hospital under ss 37 and 41 of the Act in order to facilitate his or her deportation on the grounds that he had committed criminal offences was to be exercised rationally and in such a way as would not breach the patient’s Convention rights. In considering whether deportation would interfere with a patient’s Convention right to respect for his private and family life, very serious reasons were required to justify expulsion where the patient had lawfully spent a major part of his childhood or youth in the host country and had committed the relevant offences as a juvenile.”

“Deportation cases, where the aim was the prevention or disorder and crime, did not call for a materially different approach from that required in ordinary removal cases, where the aim was the maintenance of effective immigration control. The issues arose under the same legal framework and involved the same essential question as to whether, if expulsion would interfere with rights protected by art 8(1) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, such interference was proportionate to the legitimate aim pursued.”

“Where it was sought to deport or remove a settled migrant who had spent the major part of his/her childhood in the United Kingdom, on the basis that he had committed criminal offences, the Home Secretary would have to show very serious reasons to justify his/her removal which would interfere with the migrant’s Convention right to respect for his private and family life. The decision letter should make it clear whether the decision had been made for the prevention of disorder or crime or for the maintenance of effective immigration control.”
