DECISION AND REASONS

 

1.              The Appellants are citizens of Sri Lanka. Their appeal came before First-tier Tribunal Judge Widdup sitting at Hatton Cross on 26 ^th September 2014. The Appellants' appeals were dismissed under the Immigration Rules. The Appellants lodged Grounds of Appeal to the Upper Tribunal and First-tier Tribunal Judge Mark Davies refused permission to appeal on 20 ^th May 2015. The Grounds of Appeal were renewed and those grounds came before Deputy Upper Tribunal Judge Mahmood on 28 ^th July. It is clear from the reading of those reasons that Judge Mahmood refused permission to appeal. Unfortunately in the head note it states that permission to appeal is granted. I am satisfied that is a typing error.

2.              In such circumstances I am further satisfied that there is consequently no extant appeal before me.

3.              However in addition to that I am provided with copies of correspondence from the Appellant's previously instructed solicitors Nag Law. In that correspondence they note that the Appellants have voluntarily left the UK on 26 ^th August 2015 and that they are without instructions to represent them. In such circumstances in any event I would find that the Appellant's appeal is abandoned pursuant to Rule 17(a) of the Upper Tribunal Procedure Rules.

4.              This decision is consequently provided for the purpose of clarification.

Notice of Decision

(1) Permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal having been refused both by the First-tier Tribunal and by the Upper Tier Tribunal Judge it is recorded that there is no valid appeal extant before me.

(2) That in recording that the Appellants have voluntarily left the UK on 26 ^th August 2015 the Appellants' appeal from the decision of the First-tier Tribunal is treated as abandoned.
