             At the hearing on 15 December 2023, I gave judgment in the case setting out my reasons. However, the Court recording system did not pick up the judgment. As a result I give the reasons for my decision in writing having unsuccessfully attempted to retrieve the recordings.

             This is an appeal against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Wyman ("the Judge") dated 8 August 2023. By that judgment she refused the Appellant's human rights claim under Article 8 ECHR.

             The Appellant is a national of Pakistan born 9 April 1991 he appealed on human rights grounds against the respondent's decision dated 28 November 2022 refusing his application for leave to remain dated 19 October 2022. The judge found that there were not insurmountable obstacles to the Appellant and his wife relocating to Pakistan. However, at the end of the hearing the judge notes that additional evidence was sought to be submitted the judge stated:

"30. At the end of the hearing, the appellant stated that he had been granted refugee status in Italy. He explained that in 2015, after his leave expired, he had moved to Italy where he had been granted this status. This information was not previously before the Tribunal and there was no documentary evidence of the same. His solicitor was not aware of any status he had been granted by a third country. Mr Haroon explained that he had told a previous solicitor but was unaware if he had specifically spoken to his current solicitor about this.

Given this new information I gave the appellant 24 hours in which to forward any relevant documents to me after the hearing. I did not hear from the appellant with any further documentary evidence within that timescale. However, it is possible that if he is correct, this could impact the appellant's status in the United Kingdom as he may be able to transfer his status from Italy to the United Kingdom. This clearly is a matter for the appellant to discuss with his solicitor and is not a matter for this court."
