But your link seems to conclude that the case was refused on the basis of UK and not ECHR law:
Quote:
But that judgement was superseded by a decision of the upper tier of the tribunal.
That judgement at the upper tier , which allowed the man to stay, had nothing to do with the cat.
Lawyers for the Bolivian man told the senior judge in the upper tier that the Home Office had in fact ignored its own immigration rules on unmarried couples who had been together at least two years.
Those rules stated that an individual should not normally be deported if the relationship is clearly genuine and long-lasting .
The upper tribunal ruled in the Bolivian's favour - and said the Home Office's failure to follow its own rule was the key factor in the case, not the cat.
