[2025] UKUT 00090 (IAC)

Although not formally abandoned, Mr Bandegani did not make any additional oral submissions to us beyond the grounds and skeleton argument and he placed no emphasis on this ground. The Applicant relies on R (Hussain) v SSHD [2012] EWHC 1952 (Admin) and says that the Respondent’s decision was irrational, because there was no rational basis for treating him differently from five of his colleagues who were granted ILR under the ACRS. The Respondent’s contention that she had allowed others’ applications in error was not a rational basis for distinguishing the Applicant’s case.
