[2025] UKUT 00089 (IAC)

For the reasons we have set out, we refuse consent for the claim to be withdrawn and we dismiss the claim for Judicial Review.

The applicants’ claim for interim relief was refused by the Court of Appeal. It follows from our decision to dismiss this claim that we do not make a declaration that the respondent’s failure to admit the parents to the UK is unlawful and in breach of Articles 3 and 8 as at the date of our decision on the evidence before us. It follows that we also decline to make any mandatory order for the parents to be admitted to the UK. The applicants’ claim that the respondent make a lawful decision on the application for entry clearance is now academic.
