Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber

Case No. UKUT-00517-(IAC)

Fecha: 15-Jul-2015

INTRODUCTION

1. In order to comprehend this decision it is necessary to outline the somewhat chequered and protracted history of this appeal. In summary: (i) The Appellant, who is a national of Jamaica, was the subject of a decision by the Secretary of State for the Home Department (the “ Secretary of State ”), dated 02 September 2011, to make a deportation order against him qua foreign criminal under section 32 of the UK Borders Act 2007. Simultaneously, his asylum claim was refused. (ii) By its determination dated 10 February 2012, the First-tier Tribunal (the “ FtT ”) dismissed the Appellant’s ensuing appeal. (iii) Permission to appeal having been granted, there were several listings before the Upper Tribunal and, during this phase, the West Midlands Police (“ WMP ”) became involved as an interested party. This arose out of the Appellant’s quest to acquire certain documents and information from this source. This yielded certain evidence, including the oral testimony of two police officers. (iv) This rather sluggish phase culminated in an order of the Upper Tribunal dated 28 January 2015 setting aside the decision of the FtT for error of law and making further directions. (v) This further interlocutory hearing was conducted on 16 July 2015.
