Case No. UKUT-00295-(IAC)

6. Permission to appeal to this Tribunal was, properly, granted in the following terms: “The grounds requesting permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal argue that the Judge erred in allowing the withdrawal … It is arguable that the Judge committed or permitted a procedural or other irregularity”. As a result of the case management steps taken in this forum, the issues have crystallised and, ultimately, clear and focussed arguments, both written and oral, by Mr Packer (on behalf of the Appellant) and Mr Jolliffe (on behalf of the Secretary of State) have been presented. I commend both representatives for the quality of their written and oral advocacy.
