This is an appeal against the decision, promulgated on 2 October 2015, of First-tier Tribunal Judge Kanagaratnam (hereinafter referred to as the judge). Permission to appeal was granted by Designated Judge Zucker on 15 April 2016.
The appellant, aged 52, entered the United Kingdom with leave to enter as a visitor on 17 August 2010. Her leave expired on 11 February 2011. On 2 March 2015, the appellant sought leave to remain in this country in order to care for her daughter and grandchildren.
The respondent noted that the appellant could not meet all the requirements of paragraph 276ADE of the Rules. On considering whether there were any exceptional circumstances, the Secretary of State concluded that the appellant's daughter could care for her own children with the support of social services if required and accordingly any disruption to the appellant's private life was proportionate to the legitimate aim of maintaining an effective immigration control.
In appealing, the appellant argued that her daughter was mentally affected by an attack upon her, which took place in 2010, which left her unable to care for herself.
The judge considered the appeal on the papers before him and dismissed it both under and outside the Rules.
