UK spouse immigration rules 'unjustified', High Court says.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23198144
UK family immigration rules are not unlawful but are "onerous... and unjustified", the High Court has ruled.
Three claimants had challenged the new measures which set earnings thresholds for people wanting to sponsor the visas of their non-European spouses.
A judge said the court would not "strike down" the rules, but urged the home secretary to adjust them.
