In an immigration appeal, there may be three courses of action that the Ld. Immigration Judge of the First-Tier Tribunal (Asylum & Immigration Chamber) may take:
If the immigration appeal is allowed, it means that the appellant has been successful in the immigration appeal and the home office will then take steps to implement the Ld. Immigration judge’s decision, if it considers no merits in making permission application against the decision of the Ld. Immigration Judge.
If the immigration appeal is dismissed, it means that the appellant has not been successful in his appeal and has a right to seek permission to appeal from the First-Tier Tribunal for an appeal to the Upper Tribunal (UT).
The Ld. Immigration Judge may also with the consent of both parties, remit the matter back to the Home office for a fresh decision. This will result in the making of a fresh decision by the home office and another right of appeal if the refusal decision is maintained for some other reason.
Whatever the decision may be, the Ld. Immigration Judge gives a detailed and reasoned decision of the Appeal and should that be a dismissal, it needs to be looked into carefully to assess the merits of going further in the appeal process.
One has to carefully consider and draft the grounds on which he or she may rely in their permission applications for appeals to the First-Tier Tribunal for Appeal to the Upper Tribunal (Immigration & Asylum Chamber).
The main point here is to identify an error of law in the determination of the Ld. Immigration Judge must have given a detailed and reasoned decision of the appeal.
One has to see whether the Ld. Immigration Judge has made a fair decision in the light of the relevant law, rules or regulations with reference to the decisions of the Upper Tribunal or the higher courts.
It requires a wealth of expertise and experience to draft good grounds in such matters enhancing the chances of success.
The Tribunal will consider the grounds of permission to appeal carefully and may take one of the following actions:
If permission is granted on all or limited grounds, the matter is then scheduled for a court hearing at the Upper Tribunal and both the parties are issued with specific directions for the preparation of the court hearing in the Upper Tribunal.
If the permission is refused then the appellant may then apply for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal directly.
Once permissions are granted, the matter is listed for hearing at the Upper Tribunal and we then prepare for the court hearing, which includes responding to the Rule 24 response of the home office, complying with the directions issued by the Tribunal, preparing bundle for the hearing and a brief for the counsel.
