Facts of the case Group claims that their Convention rights have been violated by not being allowed to settle in the UK.
Analysis The Commission finds that only some applicants invoked Article 8 ECHR and that only some of them could rely on the protection of family life (therewith implicitly confirming that this ground, rather than the protection of private life, can be invoked by immigrants). In any case, the matter has been dealt with by the Committee of Ministers and a number of applicants have been allowed entry to the UK. Case closed.
