Marco Tavares v Minister of National Security
Marco Tavares, a Portuguese national, appealed the Immigration Appeal Tribunal?s decision upholding the Minister of National Security's refusal to grant him indefinite leave to remain in Bermuda under Section 25 of the Bermuda Immigration and Protection Act 1956. Tavares argued that the Minister failed to consider his right to family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), as his wife and children were British Overseas Territories Citizens (BOTC) born in Bermuda. The Supreme Court upheld the IAT?s decision, ruling that the Minister had properly considered family circumstances and that Article 8 did not require granting indefinite leave.
