M.T. FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW OF A DECISION OF THE UPPER TRIBUNAL (IMMIGRATION AND ASYLUM CHAMBER)

For Judicial Review of a decision of the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) dated 7 June 2011 to refuse the Petitioner's application for leave to appeal

[1] This is a petition for judicial review of a decision of the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) dated 7 June 2011 refusing the petitioner leave to appeal against a determination of the First Tier Tribunal dated 31 March 2011.

[2] The petitioner is a national of Iran. He was born on 11 September 1984. He left Iran on either 26 or 27 December 2010 and travelled to Turkey. He then travelled on to the United Kingdom arriving here on 13 January 2011 and claimed asylum on the same date. His application was refused on 9 February 2011. The petitioner appealed to the FTT.

[4] The matter came before me on a first hearing on Friday 26 October 2012. Having heard Mr Devlin for the petitioner Mr Gill for the respondent moved me to adjourn to another date in order that he could take instructions. Since it was clear that we would in any event not finish that day I agreed to an adjournment.

"7. That the Immigration Judge erred in law at paragraph 15 of her determination in that (i) she made a finding for which there was no evidence; (ii) she failed to take account of all relevant considerations; (iii) she failed to give adequate and comprehensible reasons; and (iv) she made an assessment of the weight to be attributed to behaviour to which section 8 of the Asylum and Immigration Act (Treatment of Claimants, etc) Act 2004 (allegedly) applied, in isolation from the rest of the evidence.
