Family reunification refusal dismissed as EU law requires proportionality and individual assessment of family ties.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the immigration authority's refusal of family reunification, ruling that the decision lacked sufficient proportionality. The applicant argued that the separation of the child from the parent violated EU family unity principles, while the authority cited the child's potential integration issues. The court held that the authority failed to conduct a balanced assessment of the specific family bond and the child's best interests under EU directives.
