| Facts of the case | The applicant, a recognised refugee, complains about the refusal to grant him family reunification with his wife and two children, on the ground that he, at the relevant time, failed to fulfil the maintenance requirement. The applicant relied on Articles 8 and 14 of the Convention. |
| Analysis | he Court concludes that in the circumstances of the present case the domestic authorities struck a fair balance between the interests of the applicant and those of the State in controlling immigration, and that they did not overstep the margin of appreciation afforded to them when refusing the request for family reunification. The Court finds, in so far as the matters complained of are within its competence, and in the light of all the material in its possession, and its finding above, that they do not disclose any appearance of a violation of Article 14 read in conjunction with Article 8 of the Convention. |
