CA-2024-001283 - [2025] EWCA Civ 1203

This judgment follows the hearing of the appeal by the Secretary of State for the Home Department (“SSHD”) against the decision of the Upper Tribunal (“UT”), promulgated on 6 March 2024, dismissing the SSHD’s appeal from the decision of the First-tier Tribunal (“FTT”) which allowed the appeal of Erika Kapp (“the respondent”) from the SSHD’s decision to refuse her human rights claim and the associated application to revoke a deportation order made against her on 15 May 2002.

The respondent’s grandchildren, who are currently under 18 years of age, together with their parents are concerned in these proceedings. As there is no purpose to be served by them being otherwise identified, their names will not be provided in this judgment, save for the respondent’s son, who, in accordance with the UT decision, will be referred to as “Courtnall”.
