I shall refer to the appellant as the "secretary of state" and the respondent as "the claimant."
The secretary of state appeals against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Majid, who allowed the claimant's appeal against a decision of the secretary of state dated 8 April 2014 refusing her application for leave to remain in the UK.
Notice of the hearing, setting out the date, time and place, was given to the claimant at her address on record. There has been no request for any adjournment of the appeal nor have any reasons been given explaining the non attendance of the claimant or her representatives. In the circumstances, I consider that it is in the interests of justice to proceed with the appeal.
At the hearing before the First-tier Tribunal, both parties were represented. The Judge was informed at the outset that the claimant's case was being reviewed by the Home Office. He did not have any papers in the possession of the Home Office. Accordingly it was agreed between the parties that the appeal be adjourned pending a review of the claimant's case.
The Judge refused the adjournment so as to 'avoid clogging up the system'. His action would help the expeditious resolution of cases.
