The Upper Tribunal has addressed the issue of  whether human rights grounds can be argued in an EU rights of residence appeal. Amirteymour and others (EEA appeals; human rights) [2015] UKUT 466 (IAC) and the official headnote reads:

Where no notice under section 120 of the 2002 Act has been served and where no EEA decision to remove has been made, an appellant cannot bring a Human Rights challenge to removal in an appeal under the EEA Regulations. Neither the factual matrix nor the reasoning in JM (Liberia) [2006] EWCA Civ 1402 has any application to appeals of this nature.

The protection afforded to children by way of the 7 years rule has been diluted in a new Court of Appeal decision, NA (Bangladesh) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2021] EWCA Civ 953. paragraph 28 that: The upshot is that the effect of Lord Carnwath’s reasoning in KO (Nigeria) is that […] in a case falling under the seven-year provision where neither parent has leave to remain the starting-point for a decision-maker is the common-sense proposition that it will be reasonable to expect the qualifying child to leave the UK with their parents. That is necessarily inconsistent with the so-called “powerful reasons doctrine” apparently endorsed by Elias LJ in MA (Pakistan).

Or, “to put it more plainly, the seven-year provision does not create a presumption in favour of a seven-year child, and thus their parents, being granted leave to remain” (paragraph 29).

But nor does this create a presumption in the “opposite direction”, added Lord Justice Underhill at paragraph 30. Instead, it represents no more than “a common-sense starting-point”,
