Upper Tribunal

(Immigration and Asylum Chamber) Appeal Number: EA/12840/2016

 

THE IMMIGRATION ACTS

 

Determined on the papers at Field House

Decision & Reasons Promulgated

On 3 rd August 2018

On 9th August 2018

 

 

 

Before

 

UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE JACKSON

 

Between

 

Shahzad Hussain

(ANONYMITY DIRECTION not made)

Appellant

 

and

 

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT

Respondent

 

 

DECISION AND REASONS

1.              In the light of Khan v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2017] EWCA Civ 1755 permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal was granted because it is arguable that the First-tier Tribunal erred in concluding that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the appeal.

2.              Directions were issued within the grant of permission to appeal by Upper Tribunal Judge McWilliam on 13 June 2018 stating that the Tribunal is minded to find an error of law, set aside the decision of the First-tier Tribunal and remit the case to the First-tier Tribunal. Any party opposed to that course of action was to inform the Tribunal within 7 days.

3.              Neither party has opposed the course of action that the Tribunal was minded to take in the above directions and most recently, the Appellant's representatives have expressly endorsed the approach.

4.              In these circumstances and for the reasons set out in Khan, I find an error of law in the decision of Judge Frankish promulgated on 18 September 2017 and set aside that decision. The appeal is remitted to the First-tier Tribunal (Taylor House hearing centre) to be heard de novo before any Judge except Judge Frankish.

 

Notice of Decision

 

The making of the decision of the First-tier Tribunal did involve the making of a material error of law. As such it is necessary to set aside the decision.

 

I set aside the decision of the First-tier Tribunal.

 

No anonymity direction is made.

 

Signed Date 3 rd August 2018

 

Upper Tribunal Judge Jackson
