The Court of Appeal upheld the decision to revoke a permanent residence card previously granted to an individual, affirming the High Court's judgment. The revocation was based on the finding that the individual had provided false and misleading information regarding his spouse's employment in Ireland, which was material to his application for the card. The Court of Appeal agreed with the High Court that the appellant had given adequate reasons for the decision, and that a standalone proportionality assessment was not required in cases where rights are claimed based on fraudulent activity. The original decision to revoke the card was deemed proportionate to the abuse of rights established.
