Description: An Egyptian national, who resided in Malta and acquired Maltese nationality through marriage, was granted authorisation to renounce his Egyptian nationality as he could not hold dual nationality. He was deprived of his Maltese nationality years later, following a decision that found that he had obtained his Maltese nationality through fraud. The Court found that while in certain circumstances an arbitrary denial or loss of nationality could violate Article 8, in this case there was no violation, with the Court noting the lack of adverse impact on the applicant as a consequence of the revocation.
