The application was dismissed because the applicant had not satisfied the statutory seven-year continuous ordinary residence requirement at the time he made the formal application for permanent residence (30 May 2000) due to a two-week imprisonment which breaks ordinary residence; an earlier application for unconditional stay does not equate to a formal application for permanent residence; it was unnecessary to decide the constitutional challenge to the settlement requirement, and the Director's decisions were not Wednesbury unreasonable.
