The grant of permission to appeal
The grant of permission to appeal
The then President of the PATS, Judge Caldwell KC, gave the appellant permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal. Judge Caldwell said she could see no obvious error of law in the PATS’s decision, but she nevertheless considered that the grounds of appeal were arguable and worthy of consideration by the Upper Tribunal. Why the grounds were worthy of consideration by the Upper Tribunal was not explained.
