Conclusion
In order to comply with Convention rights, the courts must be able to undertake a balancing exercise and proportionality assessment when considering FNO deportations. Each of the proposed options for reform would tip the balance even further away from individual rights and strengthen the existing presumption in favour of deportation. If it becomes virtually impossible to displace this presumption, the balancing exercise is rendered null and void.
