IA269682014 & Ors.

I have considered whether any party requires the protection of an anonymity direction. No anonymity direction was made previously in respect of the appellants. Having considered all of the circumstances and the evidence, I do not consider it necessary to make an anonymity order.

For the purposes of this decision, I refer to the Secretary of State for the Home Department as the respondent and to the Okwereogu family as the appellants, reflecting their position before the First Tier Tribunal.

This is an appeal by the Secretary of State against a decision of First Tier Tribunal Judge Adio ("the judge") promulgated on 24 November 2014 which allowed the appellants' appeals under Paragraph 276ADE, Paragraph EX.1 of Appendix FM and under Article 8.

The second and third appellants are the children of the first appellant. They are all Nigerian citizens. On 9 June 2014, the respondent refused the appellants' applications for leave to remain in the UK and decided to remove each of the appellants from the UK. The appellants appealed against that decision.

The judge's decision was promulgated on 24 November 2014. The respondent sought leave to appeal. Upper Tribunal Judge Deans, sitting as a judge of the First Tier Tribunal refused leave to appeal on 12 January 2015. The respondent renewed their application to appeal and on 1 May 2015, Upper Tribunal Judge Eshun granted permission to appeal.
