[2024] UKUT 398 (AAC)

We had before us a bundle of 772 pages (not including the (revised) grounds of appeal, which were expressed in a further 7 pages). About 400 of the 772 pages were the bundle prepared by OTC for the Upper Tribunal hearing: this included, amongst many other things, the call-up letters to the public inquiry, correspondence between the call-up letter and the public inquiry (“section B”) and a transcript of the public inquiry. The bundle before us also included a further 300 pages of documents submitted by the appellants, including 68 pages of “written submissions” dated 19 September 2024 and, on 26 September 2024, 200 or so pages of submissions and evidence. This included over 100 pages of “screenshot evidence” of messages between Miss Kufandirori and Mr Saleh between November 2022 and January 2024.

We are grateful to Mr Benn for his submissions and his assistance at the hearing in navigating the voluminous bundle.
