Why there was no oral hearing of this matter
Why there was no oral hearing of this matter
No party asked for an oral hearing of the substantive judicial review. I decided the interests of justice did not require an oral hearing because TB and CICA agree that the FTT decision should be quashed (which means, set aside) and TB’s appeal determined by a fresh Tribunal. I therefore determined the appeal on the papers. It was proportionate to do so.
There was a delay in the matter being referred to me for a final decision to be made. On behalf of the Upper Tribunal Office, I apologise to the parties for this.
