[2025] UKUT 00150 (IAC)

The difficulties that arise from a failure to provide the FtT and Upper Tribunal with coherent and properly pleaded grounds of appeal are all too apparent from the matters that we have had to address in this decision. The failure of the appellants’ representatives has had the unfortunate consequence that the appellants have been put to unnecessary cost. It also places an unnecessary strain upon limited resources if significant amounts of time have to be spent determining the essence of the complaint made.

In this decision we have determined the grounds of appeal that are before the Upper Tribunal and the scope of the matters that the Upper Tribunal will consider when the appeals are heard. As we said at the outset, the appeals will now be listed separately for the Tribunal to consider whether the decision of the First-tier Tribunal (“FtT”) is infected by a material error of law, and if so, the appropriate course for the disposal of the appeal.
