UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE ESHUN
Between
MR J A J
Appellant
and
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT
Respondent
Representation:
For the Appellant: Mr. G Davidson, Counsel
For the Respondent: Mr. T Wilding, HOPO
DECISION ON ERROR OF LAW
1. The appellant is a citizen of Sri Lanka, born on 2 July 1988. He entered the UK on a student visa in January 2011. He claimed asylum on 26 July 2011. The SoS refused his application on 24 July 2011. The appellant’s appeal against the respondent’s decision was dismissed by Immigration Judge CM Phillips in a determination promulgated 21 November 2011. The Judge’s decision was set aside by UTJ Lane. On 21 May 2012 a DUTJ held that the judge materially erred in law and her decision could not stand. The appellant’s appeal was again dismissed by UTJ Martin in September 2012. Her decision was quashed by the Court of Appeal as disclosing an error of law for the reasons set out in the Statement of Reasons.
2. The parties have agreed that the error of law identified in the Statement of Reasons has infected the whole of the UTJ’s credibility findings. Therefore the appellant’s case has to be heard de novo.
3. The appellant’s appeal is remitted to the FtT at Hatton Cross to be heard afresh by a judge other than Judge Phillips.
