[2023] UKUT 00164 (IAC)

It is difficult to understand what happened at the hearing before the FTT because the unpaginated 44-page FTT decision makes no reference to this. There is thus no indication of who gave evidence or the submissions relied upon by the parties.

After setting out lengthy extracts of the documents, the FTT’s reasons are primarily to be found in the last six pages of the decision. In summary, the FTT found in the appellant’s favour on all grounds, concluding that: the appellant had rebutted the presumption that he continues to be a danger of the community; the appellant’s refugee status should not cease; the appellant would suffer a serious, rapid and irreversible decline in his mental health upon deportation to Zimbabwe, where they would be inadequate treatment to obviate a real risk of Article 3 ill-treatment; the appellant established that he met Exceptions 1 and 2; such that his appeal should be allowed.
