DEPUTY UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE CHANA
Between
[U F]
(ANONYMITY DIRECTION not made)
Appellant
and
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT
Respondent
Representation :
For the Appellant: Mr B Bradford of Counsel, instructed by Central England Law Centre
For the Respondent: Mr L Tarlow, Home Office Presenting Officer
DECISION AND REASONS
1. The appellant is a citizen of Pakistan born on 1 September 1993. Her application for protection was refused by the respondent in a decision dated 5 September 2017. First-tier Tribunal Judge E M M Smith dismissed the appellant's appeal in a decision dated 18 September 2018.
2. Permission to appeal was granted by First-tier Tribunal Judge Blundell on 17 October 2018, stating that it is arguable that the judge's analysis of paragraph 34 conflated the two limbs of the internal relocation assessment for the appellant, which is (1) safety and (2) reasonableness of return and relocation within Pakistan. If these questions had been addressed separately and material matters specific to the appellant had been taken into account, it might have led to an arguably different decision.
3. Mr Tarlow very helpfully at the hearing accepted that the appellant's personal circumstances and the objective evidence on relocation should be considered in a fresh hearing. I am also of the view that the First-tier Tribunal Judge conflated the reasonableness of return and safety of return test. Given the First-tier Tribunal Judge's findings that the appellant has been credible in her claim about her family circumstances and the presumption that she has betrayed her husband, it is imperative that everything is considered very carefully.
4. I therefore set aside the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge E M M Smith and remit it to the First-tier Tribunal to be placed before any judge other than E M M Smith.
Decision
Appeal remitted to the First-tier Tribunal.
No anonymity direction is made.
Signed Date 21 st day of April 2019
