The British government has won a legal appeal against a ruling allowing four Syrians living in a refugee camp in France to join family members in Britain.
In January a U.K. court ruled that three teenagers and a disabled adult should be able to apply for asylum in Britain, despite a law that says refugees must apply in the first safe country they come to. It said the four should be reunited with relatives in Britain on human rights grounds.
On Tuesday three appeals court judges ruled the lower court had not "applied the correct test."
The four Syrians are already in Britain and the government is not seeking to deport them. But refugee campaigners say the judgment will make it harder for child migrants to be reunited with their families.
