Key legal question
Whether the refusal of the residence permit violated the applicant's claimed family-life-based residence entitlement.
Extracted holding
The applicant could invoke family-life provisions in principle, but the serious criminal conduct and public-order grounds outweighed the claimed entitlement.
Extracted reasoning
He had been convicted of multiple fraud offences to 2.5 years' imprisonment and had additional prior convictions abroad; the proportionality assessment clearly favored refusal.
