DECISION PURSUANT TO RULE 40(3)(a) OF THE TRIBUNAL PROCEDURE (UPPER TRIBUNAL) RULES 2008

 

1.              The appellant appealed to the First-tier Tribunal ("FtT") against a decision to refuse a residence card as confirmation of a retained right of residence. The FtT dismissed the appellant's appeal. Permission to appeal against the FtT's decision was granted to the appellant and thus the appeal came before me.

2.              At the hearing before me it was agreed between the parties that the FtT did materially err in law as contended in the grounds of appeal in relation to the decision of the FtT and that in consequence its decision should be set aside with the appeal being remitted to the FtT for a hearing de novo.

3.              In the circumstances, and considering the decision of the FtT, the grounds of appeal in relation to its decision, the grant of permission to appeal, and all other relevant documentation, I set aside the decision of the FtT and remit the appeal to the FtT for a hearing de novo before a differently constituted First-tier Tribunal.

4.              It was agreed between the parties that the following findings of fact (as quoted) made by the FtT are to be preserved, with paragraph numbers of the FtT's decision in brackets:

(i) "On the evidence it appears that Mrs Nyiri was a 'qualified person' at the date of the termination of the marriage." [9]; and

(ii) "The various documents demonstrate that the appellant has been living in accordance with these Regs, from 2015 through to 2018." [13].

5.              Pursuant to rule 40(3)(a) of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008, no reasons (or further reasons) are required, the decision being made with the consent of the parties.
