UPDATE: An earlier version of this article mistakenly stated that judges’ rulings invoking Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights – the right to “respect for family life” – were solely responsible for the increasing settlement in the UK of family members of people settled here. In fact, EU rules and UK law also govern such settlement. In addition the article said that up to 100 members of each family could be admitted; we wish to clarify that this estimate was not based on a documented case. The article also stated that in the “Abdulaziz" case, the European Court of Human Rights held that anyone legally entitled to live in a country is then entitled to bring in other members of their family. We wish to clarify that this case upheld the principle that immigration rules governing the admission of family members must be consistent with the Article 8 right to respect for family life. However, the applicants lost their cases on their particular facts. The article further said that all these members of the family would be entitled to benefits in the UK, whereas in fact only some would be. It also stated that countless EU families with only one economically active member entered the UK under human rights rules, whereas they enter under EU rules. We are happy to make this clear, and the article has been updated accordingly.
