             By the decision of the Upper Tribunal (Judge Macleman) issued on 2.1.24, the appellant, an Iraqi national of Kurdish ethicity, has been granted permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal (Judge Alis) promulgated 10.3.23 dismissing his appeal against the respondent's decision of 20.5.22 to give notice of deprivation of British citizenship pursuant to s40(3) of the British Nationality Act, as amended.
             Following the helpful submissions of both representatives, I reserved my decision to be provided in writing, which I now do.
             The 2022 deprivation action arose from the appellant's alleged fraud, knowingly and intentionally deceiving the respondent so that he could remain in the UK, being eventually granted Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and later naturalisation as a British citizen.
             The alleged fraud was discovered as summarised below.
             The respondent considered that the appellant had every opportunity to confirm and correct the record as to his true place of birth. The respondent rejected the suggestion that there was an error in the interview record arising from misinterpretation or legal guidance. Furthermore, he had repeatedly stated Jalawla as his place of birth over many years. Hence the deprivation of citizenship.
