Key holding

What the court decided

The Migration Court of Appeal held that the right to family and private life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights can outweigh the 'state responsibility' criteria in the Dublin II Regulation. The court found that transferring the applicant to Germany would constitute a disproportionate interference with his family life, despite Germany being the otherwise responsible state, and therefore his asylum application should be processed in Sweden.
