FBL, R (on the application of) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (IJR)

R (on the application of FBL) v Secretary of State for the Home Department IJR [2015] UKUT 328 (IAC)

I was invited by both parties to make an anonymity order to protect the identity of the applicant�s children. Pursuant to rule 14 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008 (SI 2008/269 as amended) I make an anonymity order. Unless the Upper Tribunal or court directs otherwise, no report of these proceedings shall directly or indirectly identify the applicant, his partner or children. For the avoidance of doubt, this order also applies to both the applicant and to the respondent. A failure to comply with this order could lead to contempt of court proceedings.

The applicant, who was born on 11 January 1983, is a national of the People�s Republic of China (China). He arrived in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2007 and claimed asylum. That application was refused by the Secretary of State on 16 February 2007. There was no appeal. Thereafter, the applicant ceased contact with the Home Office until 20 June 2012.

Sometime in December 2008 the applicant began a relationship with a Chinese national, �QC�. The applicant and QC have two children who were born respectively on 20 January 2010 (�AXL�) and 10 April 2011 (�AYL�) in the United Kingdom.

The applicant made contact with the Home Office on 20 June 2012 and on 10 April 2013 he made further submissions to the respondent relying upon his private and family life in the UK, namely his relationship with his partner and two children.
