Interesting judgment. Does anybody know if this will be appealed further to either the Supreme Court or to Strasbourg directly?

[mkhan2525]

They are going to appeal further to the Supreme Court and have applied for permission to do so to the COA.

I personally do not see this case succeeding at the Supreme Court given the courts dim views on family life and reluctance to strike down Immigration rules as we have seen in the cases of MM and Bibi.

So what's next? We have applied directly to the CoA for for permission to appeal further up. They however pretty much never cede this. We then have 28 days from judgment date to apply to the Supreme Court.

Would it not make more sense for them to appeal directly to Strasbourg? They may be able to skip the Supreme Court if there is “no real prospect of success”.

Both course of action are not mutually exclusive. It once was but not anymore.
