Respondent

 

 

Representation :

For the appellant: Not represented

For the respondent: Mr A McVeety, Senior Home Office Presenting Officer

 

 

DECISION AND REASONS

1.              The appellant, Mozhgan Dokoohaki, date of birth 2.2.88, is a citizen of Iran.

2.              This is her appeal against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Burns promulgated 24.2.15, dismissing her appeal against the decisions of the Secretary of State, dated 8.12.14, to refuse her asylum, humanitarian protection and human rights appeals and to remove her from the UK by way of directions under the Immigration Act 1971. The Judge heard the appeal on 9.2.15.

3.              First-tier Tribunal Judge Baker granted permission to appeal on 20.3.15.

4.              Thus the matter came before me on 30.7.15 as an appeal in the Upper Tribunal.

5.              However, Mr McVeety informed the tribunal that on 19.5.15 the appellant has left the UK and returned to Iran under the Home Office assisted return policy.

6.              It follows that pursuant to section 104(4) of the 2002 Act and paragraph 17A of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008, the appellant's appeal must be treated as abandoned by her departure from the UK and the Tribunal must therefore send a notice to the parties informing them accordingly.

7.              I therefore find that there is no valid or extant appeal to the Upper Tribunal that can be decided.

Anonymity

I have considered whether any parties require the protection of any anonymity direction. No submissions were made on the issue. The First-tier Tribunal did not make an order pursuant to rule 45(4)(i) of the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (Procedure) Rules 2005.

Given the circumstances, I make no anonymity order.

Fee Award Note: this is not part of the determination.

In the light of my decision, I have considered whether to make a fee award (rule 23A (costs) of the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (Procedure) Rules 2005 and section 12(4)(a) of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007).

I have had regard to the Joint Presidential Guidance Note: Fee Awards in Immigration Appeals (December 2011).

I make no fee award.

Reasons: No fee is payable and thus there can be no fee award.
