Halilova Others v. Sweden
(Application No. 20 283/09, decision of 13 October 2009)
Expulsion of a woman and two of her children, but not the son who was born in Sweden or the father of the child, both of whom are Swedish citizens, would cause a disruption of the family.  The Court decided to hold proceedings in those parts that related to splitting the family  and declared the remaining parts of the complaint were declared inadmissible.

Limoni Others v. Sweden
(Application No. 6576/05, Decision on 4 October 2007)
The Court ruled that the Sweden's expulsion of Roma who came originally from a village in Kosovo back to Serbia was not considered contrary to Article 3 and the complaint was therefore declared inadmissible.
 

Grigorian Others v. Sweden, Decision 2007-07-05
The rejection of a family that had been established in Sweden, but without a residence permit  would not violate Article 8 and the complaint was declared inadmissible.
 

Akhmadov and Bagurova v. Sweden, Decision 2007-07-10
The conslusion from the court was that the parties failed to prove  a real risk of treatment contrary to Article 3 if they were rejected back to their home country. The complaint was therefore explained  inadmissible.
