Immigration analysis: The Upper Tribunal held that the domestic deportation regime applied where the appellant’s post-IP Completion Day offence alone triggered automatic deportation, notwithstanding reference to a pre-IP Completion Day conviction as an aggravating factor in sentencing. The First-tier Tribunal erred in treating such reference as material reliance on earlier conduct. Properly construed, the Stage 1 decision was based solely on the 2023 offence and resulting sentence, and thus fell within Article 20(2) of the Withdrawal Agreement. The decision clarifies the distinction between material and incidental consideration of pre-IP Completion Day conduct and confirms that sentencing remarks do not, without more, determine the applicable deportation regime.

Domestic partner adoption describes an adoption where one partner adopts the other partner’s child, so that both become the child’s legal parents. In UK and Irish practice this is more commonly termed step‑parent adoption, second‑parent adoption or adoption by a civil partner or cohabitant, rather than “domestic partner adoption”, which is not a defined statutory term.In England and Wales, and Scotland, adoption by a partner is governed mainly by the Adoption and Children Act 2002 and the Adoption and Children (Scotland) Act 2007, which allow applications by spouses, civil partners and certain long‑term cohabitants. Northern Ireland has similar provision under the Adoption (Northern Ireland) Order 1987 as amended, now allowing unmarried and same‑sex couples to adopt. In Ireland, the Adoption Act 2010 (as amended, including by the Adoption (Amendment) Act 2017) permits adoption by spouses, civil partners and qualifying cohabitants.Key features include: extinguishing (with limited exceptions) the legal status of the other birth parent; transferring parental responsibility/parental rights and responsibilities; rigorous welfare‑based assessment; and full legal equality of the adoptive parent with any existing legal parent. The term is used in practice to distinguish these intra‑family adoptions from stranger or intercountry adoptions.

An act of aggression whether physical or verbal by one person towards another with whom they have, or have had, an intimate or family relationship. Examples of abuse include: physical; emotional; sexual; psychological, or financial.

Under English law a party is generally domiciled in the country in which they have made their permanent home. There are different types of domicile including a domicile of origin, domicile of choice and domicile of dependence. The court will look at a range of factors to determine domicile.

Broadly equivalent to habitual residence.

Every person acquires at birth a domicile of origin which is generally the domicile of their father. A domicile of origin remains with a person throughout their life unless they replace it with a domicile of choice elsewhere. A domicile of choice is, ordinarily, where somebody has their permanent home to which, if absent, they intend to return. Such absence may be long term. A domicile of origin can revive if a domicile of choice is abandoned without a new one being acquired. A dependant generally has the same domicile as the person on whom they are dependent.
