[2025] UKUT 00277 (IAC)

The appellant has renewed his application for permission to appeal (‘PTA’), against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal (‘FTT’), promulgated on 6 February 2025, dismissing his appeal against the respondent’s decision to refuse his protection and human rights claim, made in the context of deportation proceedings. No anonymity order was made by the FTT and we were not invited to make any such order.

A panel was convened to determine the renewed permission to appeal (‘PTA’) application orally in order to fully address the allegation in the renewal grounds that the FTT acted procedurally unfairly, because the same FTT judge who dismissed the substantive appeal also refused PTA in a separate decision dated 9 April 2025. We heard helpful submissions from Mr Marziano and Ms McKenzie. This is a decision to which all members of the panel have contributed.
