Batista v Secretary of State of the Home Department [2010] EWCA Civ 896; [2010] WLR (D) 233
“When considering whether a decision to deport a national of the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) was proportionate, the court should ask itself whether members of the deportee’s family would move to the country of origin with the deportee and whether it was reasonable to expect them to do so, rather than to ask whether there were ‘insurmountable obstacles’ to them moving.”

Lekpo-Bozua v Hackney London Borough Council (Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government intervening) – WLR Daily
“An applicant for accommodation could establish a priority need under the Housing Act 1996 because a dependent child was residing with her, where the dependent child was an European Economic Area national from abroad, even though the child did not have a permanent right to reside but was subject to immigration control, but the housing authority’s duty was then the restricted duty provided for under s 193(7AA) of the 1996 Act as amended. Under either the amended or unamended provisions the duty would have been the full duty had the dependent child had a right of permanent residence in the United Kingdom. Moreover, a failure by the host member state to enforce the removal of the dependent child after three months did not graduate by waiver to her acquiring a permanent right to residence.”

HJ v Secretary of State for the Home Department; HT v Same ú [2010] UKSC 31; [2010] WLR (D) 174
“To reject a gay person’s claim for refugee status on the ground that, if returned to his home country, he could avoid persecution by living discreetly would be to deny his right, protected by the 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees, to live freely and openly as himself without fear of persecution. The current test, that such a claim would fail where the claimant could reasonably be expected to live discreetly concealing his sexual identity to avoid persecution, if returned to his home country, was wrong and should not be followed.”
