| Facts of the case | The applicant complained that the order for his expulsion following a criminal conviction violated his right to respect for family life as provided in Article 8 of the Convention |
| Analysis | The Court concludes that the interference with the applicant’s family life was supported by relevant and sufficient reasons. The domestic courts carefully examined the facts, applied the relevant human rights standards in accordance with the Convention and its case-law, and appropriately balanced the applicant’s personal interests against the broader public interest in the case. It is therefore not for the Court to substitute its own assessment of the merits of the present case for that of the competent national authorities, in the absence of compelling reasons for doing so. |
