For the Appellant: Mr S Winter, Advocate, instructed by DGF, Solicitors

For the Respondent: Mr M Matthews, Senior Home Office Presenting Officer

 

 

DETERMINATION AND REASONS

1.              The appellants are husband and wife, nationals of Eritrea. They appealed to the FtT against decisions of the respondent dated 19 September 2016.

2.              FtT Judge P A Grant-Hutchison dismissed both appeals by a determination promulgated on 17 June 2017.

3.              The FtT refused the appellants' application for permission to appeal to the FtT.

4.              The appellants sought permission from the UT, on different grounds, attached to their application dated 26 October 2017.

5.              The grounds, read shortly, are that the appellants were found to have left Eritrea illegally while the first was subject to national service and the second was of draft age, and country guidance was that they were therefore entitled to protection.

6.              Mr Matthews correctly conceded that the grounds were well taken and that the effect of the judge's findings in fact was that the outcome should be reversed.

7.              The decision of the First-tier Tribunal is set aside, and the following decision is substituted: the appeals, as brought to the FtT, are allowed.

8.              No anonymity direction has been requested or made.
