Pressure is continuing to mount on the Government over the influence of European law on British courts following the decision not to deport the killer of head teacher Philip Lawrence.
An Immigration Tribunal has ruled that Learco Chindamo should not be deported to his native Italy once he has served his prison term.
The tribunal ruled that deportation could not be used as a “mode of further punishment” under EU law, drawing fierce criticism from the Tories.

The Home Office presented evidence to the tribunal claiming that Chindamo, now 26, poses a “genuine and present risk” to the public.
But a summary of the tribunal’s ruling stated:
“The tribunal took the view that the rules of EU law allowed deportation to be used neither as a mode of further punishment of offenders nor in order simply to dissuade other aliens from committing similar crimes.”
