RP000302019

             We summarise the salient features of this appeal. AH is a national of Algeria who was born in 1975. He first arrived the UK in 1991 using a forged document. He claimed asylum on 22 April 1994 after being arrested on suspicion of theft the previous day. His asylum claim was refused on 22 August 1994 and an appeal against this decision was dismissed on 16 June 1995. AH was removed to Algeria on 26 March 1996.

             AH re-entered the UK on 3 December 1997 and claimed asylum. It was accepted that he held a well-founded fear of persecution based on his refusal to complete his military service and he was granted refugee status and Indefinite Leave to Remain ('ILR') on 14 July 1999.

             On 14 February 2013, AH applied for naturalisation as a British citizen, but this was refused on 14 May 2013 on character grounds.

             On 21 May 2018, the respondent sent to AH her decision to make a deportation order against him in accordance with s. 32(5) of the UK Borders Act 2007. In her decision the respondent also invoked s. 72 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 ('the 2002 Act'), which established a rebuttable presumption that AH posed a danger to the community of the UK.

             AH made a human rights claim on 5 June 2018. His claim was primarily based on his relationship with LG, a British citizen, and their British citizen child B (who was 3 years old at the time) and on the fact that he and LG were expecting another child in November 2018. AH additionally relied on his relationships with other children he had fathered. AH also relied on his medical history, disclosing that he had received treatment for schizophrenia, anxiety and depression.
