UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE COKER

 

Between

 

MUHAMMAD UMER

Appellant

And

 

SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT

Respondent

 

 

DETERMINATION AND REASONS

 

1.          On 11 ^th July 2018 I granted the appellant permission to appeal a decision of the First-tier Tribunal as follows:

 

1.     The appellant has, through solicitors, provided a reasonable explanation for the delay in seeking permission to appeal and I extend time.

2.     In the light of Khan v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2017] EWCA Civ 1755, it was arguably wrong in law to have concluded that the First-tier Tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear the appeal.

3.     The Upper Tribunal is minded to find an error of law, set aside the decision of the First-tier Tribunal and remit the case to the First-tier Tribunal.

4.       A party who is opposed to this course is directed to inform the Tribunal in writing (giving reasons), not later than 7 days from the date this decision is sent by the Upper Tribunal. Following that period, the Upper Tribunal will issue its decision.

 

2.          Neither party has notified the Tribunal of any opposition to the course of action I proposed. I therefore set aside the decision and remit it to the First-tier Tribunal to be heard afresh, no findings preserved.

 

 

 

Conclusions:

 

The making of the decision of the First-tier Tribunal did involve the making of an error on a point of law.

 

I set aside the decision and remit the appeal to the First-tier Tribunal for fresh hearing.
