article_snippet: Lord Justice Pitchford said the case with foreign criminals was ‘truly exceptional’.
article_snippet: Lord Justice Pitchford said: 'The circumstances of the offence, the bitter suffering of [the mother] following the offence and the clear benefit to the victim of the offence of continued face to face contact with her mother rendered the case with foreign criminals truly exceptional. '
article_snippet: In short, despite the generic public interest in deportation of foreign criminals, there was no public interest in further punishing the victim of the crime. '
article_snippet: In my view, the combined circumstances of the crime and the crime consequences were exceptional and the First-Tier Tribunal was entitled to conclude that separation, which was likely to be permanent, would be cruel both to the offender and to the victim.'
article_snippet: Court of Appeal judge heard the appeal with Lord Justice Sullivan and Lady Justice King, who both agreed with the decision.
