Grounds of Appeal
4. The Secretary of State has appealed against the decision and permission was given on 31 March 2014. Two grounds of appeal are advanced. The first is to the effect that the Tribunal erred in law in failing to apply the correct standard of proof. The second asserts that the Tribunal made a series of errors in the way in which it analysed the submissions advanced and the evidence relied upon by the Secretary of State. As a result, when looked at both individually and cumulatively, these errors amounted to an error of law. 5. Skeleton arguments were lodged on behalf of the Secretary of State and a Rule 24 response was lodged by the appellant.
