UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE MACLEMAN

 

 

Between

 

SAMRAWIT DANIEL

Appellant

and

 

ENTRY CLEARANCE OFFICER

Respondent

 

 

For the Appellant: Ms N Loughran, of Loughran & Co, Solicitors

For the Respondent: Mr A Govan, Senior Home Office Presenting Officer

 

 

DETERMINATION AND REASONS

1.              The appellant appeals against a decision by First-tier Tribunal Judge Handley, promulgated on 18 September 2018, dismissing her appeal against refusal of entry clearance as a spouse.

2.              Mr Govan conceded as follows. The judge's conclusion that there was no genuine relationship between the appellant and the sponsor involved error, as suggested in the grounds and in the grant of permission, by overlooking evidence of financial transfers, of other communications, and of constraints on evidencing communications for part of the relevant period. Parties agreed that the appropriate outcome was as follows.

3.              The decision of the FtT is set aside. It stands only as a record of what was said at the hearing.

4.              The nature of the case is such that it is appropriate under section 12 of the 2007 Act, and under Practice Statement 7.2, to remit to the FtT for an entirely fresh hearing.

5.              The member(s) of the FtT chosen to consider the case are not to include Judge Handley.

6.              No anonymity direction has been requested or made.
