Dependents of a Deceased Person
We were instructed by Mrs FR for further leave to remain in the UK. She was in the UK as a dependent of her husband, Mr RR, a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur). Their son, Mr AR, was an adult dependent on his father. Unfortunately, Mr RR passed away in the UK before he could begin trading.
Following the passing of Mr RR, Mrs FR (wife) and Mr AR (dependent son at the time), applied for leave to remain in the UK based on compelling and compassionate grounds. Their application was refused with a right of appeal.
Our submissions were heard and upheld at the First Tier Tribunal. The presiding judge allowed both their appeals under Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) outside the Immigration Rules.
The Judge, based on our submissions, found that there were significant obstacles to Mrs FR and Mr AR if returned to their home country. Mr RR had sold his property and wound his business up in his home country. He invested all his money in the UK. Mrs FR and Mr AR had no home to return to. They had come to the UK with a view to settle as their route led to settlement.
Furthermore, our submissions also pointed out that Mrs FR suffered from various medical conditions for which she was being treated in the UK. Mrs FR’s siblings are British Citizen with whom she shared a strong bond and met very frequently.

Mr AR had been a student since he came to the UK. At the time of the initial application, he had completed his master’s degree. Upon completion of his degree, he enrolled himself for additional qualification.
Both, Mrs FR and Mr AR had established their private lives in the UK and removing them to their home country would have been a breach of their Article 8 rights of ECHR. We were extremely pleased for our clients when the Home Office granted them leave to remain in the UK.
