For the purposes of this appeal I shall refer to the parties as they were before the First Tier Tribunal that is Mr Silva as the appellant and the Secretary of State as the respondent.
The appellant is a citizen of Sri Lanka born on 21 st December 1991 and he appealed against the refusal of the Entry Clearance Officer dated 8 th May 2013 to grant him a sports� visit visa.
The ECO refused the application further to Paragraph 320 (7A) and noted that future applications may also be refused. The ECO was not satisfied in view of the false documents submitted that the appellant was a genuine visitor.
The ECO recorded that the right of appeal was limited to grounds referred to in Section 84(1)(c) of the Nationality Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 that is to human rights grounds or racial discrimination grounds.
Application for permission to appeal was made on the basis that the Judge correctly directed himself as to his jurisdiction namely that because the appellant was not a family visitor his right of appeal was limited to human rights grounds but nevertheless he was of the view that the appellant had succeeded under the Immigration Rules. This was an error of law.
