Lumine Solicitors can assist individuals in making private life and Human rights-based applications in accordance with Articles 3 or 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) for the right to remain in the UK.
Article 3: Prohibition of torture, of the European Convention on Human Rights, says:
‘No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.’
You may be able to make a human rights claim under this if the British government attempts to remove a person from the UK back to their home country, where there is a genuine risk of persecution or serious harm.
Article 8: Private life, of the European Convention on Human Rights, says:
8 (1) ‘Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home, and his correspondence.’
8 (2) ‘There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety, or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.’
You may be able to make a human rights claim under Article 8 of the ECHR if you have developed strong family ties and have resided in the UK for many years.
