NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL

1.              This case was listed before me for consideration of whether or not there is an error of law in the determination of First-tier Tribunal (FtT) Judge Miles promulgated on 9 th February 2015 in which the Judge allowed the appeal to the extent that the decision made was not in accordance with the law and remitted the matter to the Secretary of State for reconsideration under section 55 Borders, Citizenship & Immigration Act 2009.

2.              Mr Bramble conceded that in light of the recent Upper Tribunal decision in MK (section 55 - Tribunal options) Sierra Leone [2015] UKUT 223 (IAC) the decision made by the FtT showed no error of law. In effect MK had to an extent resolved the apparent conflict between the Court of Appeal judgment in AJ (India) v SSHD [2011] EWCA CIV 1191 and the Upper Tribunal decision in JO & others (section 55 duty) Nigeria [2014] UKUT 517 (IAC) by clearly stating the policy of the Secretary of State at [23]. Mr Bramble acknowledged that in this instance the Secretary of State totally failed to consider where the best interests of the two children lie.

3.              Mrs Ali, who prepared a response under Rule 24, confirmed that she had no objections to the withdrawal of the appeal.

4.              I give permission for the appeal to be withdrawn in accordance with Rule 17 Upper Tribunal Procedure Rules 2008.

5.              Accordingly the decision and reasons of the FtT shall stand.

6.              The proceedings in the Upper Tribunal are now disposed of and have come to an end.

 

 

 

Signed

 

GA Black (Deputy Judge of the Upper Tribunal)

Dated 19.5.2015
