DETERMINATION AND REASONS


  1. On 14th May 2014, following a hearing at Birmingham, it was found that a panel of the First-tier Tribunal had materially erred in law in allowing PE’s appeal against the order for his deportation from the United Kingdom for the reasons set out in the error of law finding and directions document of the same date. There are a number of findings of the First-tier Tribunal which are preserved. These include PE’s Greek nationality, his date of entry into the United Kingdom in the year 2000, the existence of two children of which he is the father, the existence of family life recognised by Article 8 between PE and the children which is maintained by ongoing contact, and the finding that there is no family life recognised by Article 8 between PE and his former partner. PE’s offending history is also accepted and set out below.


  1. As stated, PE is a Greek national. Following his conviction at Ipswich Crown Court he has been made the subject of a deportation order pursuant to section 32 (4) of the UK Borders Act 2007. It is PE’s case that he falls within one of the exceptions set out in section 33 of the 2007 Act, namely that his removal from the United Kingdom in pursuance of the deportation order will breach his rights under the European Community treaties .


  1. PE’s offending history is as follows:
