CA-2024-001138 - [2025] EWCA Civ 1337

Ms Smyth KC submitted that as the law now stood, the Appellant’s case was unsustainable. His application forms both for asylum in the first place and subsequently for naturalisation contained, in her words, “a lie on every page”.

At all times the Appellant continued to conceal the fact that he had used a false identity and had made a false asylum claim. He perpetuated the false representation that he was a Kosovo Albanian. At all times up to and including the application for naturalisation the SSHD was unaware of these material facts.
