Immigration – Leave to remain. Court of Session: Granting a judicial review petition by an Indian citizen who challenged the refusal of his application for leave to remain in the UK as the spouse of British citizen, the court held that the respondent had failed to attach enough importance to the rights of the petitioner's spouse and had not properly considered the close relationship the spouse had to have with her disabled mother, and that on any reasonable view it could not be said that the case would be bound to fail before an immigration judge.
