Case No. UKUT-00175-(IAC)

In deception cases, indefinite leave should not normally be revoked just because of minor errors in the application. For example, indefinite leave would not normally be revoked because the person has supplied an incorrect address or misspelt a name on their application form. However, deliberately providing false information because it is likely to result in a ‘hit’ or ‘match’ when checked against other Government departments or Agencies would normally be considered an attempt to deceive, as would providing a date of birth or nationality which is incorrect, in order to make a grant of leave more likely. …. The decision maker must assess the nature, extent and significance of the information which was either incorrectly supplied or omitted. There should be clear and justifiable evidence of deception and the deception was material to the grant of leave. 4.3
