      The appellant seeks to appeal the decision of FTT Judge Traynor (the judge) who, on sixth of December 2023, dismissed the appellant's appeal on Human Rights grounds against the Secretary of State for the Home Department's (SSHD's) decision to refuse that application on the 12 th April 2023.
      The appellant sought permission to appeal against the FTT's decision on 26 January 2024. The three grounds essentially assert that there was a failure to properly undertake the Article 8 balancing exercise required (Ground 3) and to make sustainable findings as to whether the appellant has established a family life in the UK (Grounds 1 and 2).
      Permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal was granted by First-tier Tribunal Judge Swaney on 15 March 2024 in respect of all 3 grounds. On 30 March 2024 the SSHD confirmed he would not submit a response under Rule 24 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008 in respect of the appeal (see [CB/20]).
      At the hearing, Ms Smith submitted that the decision said little about the degree of the appellant's integration into UK society but by and large Ms Smith relied fully on her skeleton argument which was comprehensive.
      The appellant said there was a failure to assess family life or carry out any proper balancing exercise.
