DECISION AND REASONS

 

Decision and reasons

1.              The parties wrote to this Tribunal on 17 ^th January 2022, seeking an order in the following terms:

"CONSENT ORDER UNDER RULE 39(1)

Under Rule 39(1) of the Upper Tribunal Rules 2008, the parties consent to the disposal of this appeal on the following agreed basis:

1.      On the Respondent accepting that the change of circumstances in Afghanistan means that the Appellant now makes out a protection claim under Refugee Convention and/ or Protections Directive; and

2.      On the basis that leave to remain will be granted;

3.      The refusal of asylum dated 11 April 2016 is withdrawn;

4.      The appeal is therefore summarily allowed.

The parties ask that the Tribunal accepts the parties' assent via e-mail rather than the traditional signature due to the practicalities of remote working."

2.              For the reasons expressed above, and by consent, the appellant's appeal is allowed.

 

Notice of Decision

3.              By consent, the appellant's appeal is allowed.

4.              The anonymity directions continue.
