Respondent

Representation :

For the Appellant: Mr Z Nasim, Counsel instructed by Direct Public Access

For the Respondent: Mrs A Nolan, Senior Home Office Presenting Officer

 

Heard at Field House on 6 March 2023

DECISION AND REASONS

1.               This is an appeal against a decision of the First-tier Tribunal dismissing the Appellant's appeal against a decision of the Respondent on 23 January 2023 refusing him leave to remain in the United Kingdom.

2.               The Appellant not attend the hearing and the appeal was dismissed.

3.               His grounds rely in part on his having been involved in a road traffic accident some three weeks or so before the hearing but this serves mainly to cloud the issue. His best point is that he did not know about the hearing.

4.               Mr Nasim has prepared a very fully supplementary bundle which Mrs Nolan has been able to consider.

5.               There is no proper basis for doubting the Appellant's claim that he was not notified of the hearing of his appeal.

6.               In the circumstances we find that there has been a procedural irregularity amounting to an error of law. We set aside the decision of the First-tier Tribunal and direct that the appeal be heard again in the First-tier Tribunal.

Notice of Decision

7.               The First-tier Tribunal erred in law. We set aide this decision and direct that the case be heard again in the First-tier Tribunal.
