              Mr Ali is a citizen of Pakistan whose date of birth is recorded as 25 th September 1971. On 7 th June 2021 he made application for leave to remain in the United Kingdom on human rights grounds which application on 27 th July 2022 was refused by the Secretary of State.

              Mr Ali appealed to the First-tier Tribunal. On 22 nd June 2023 his appeal was heard by Judge Bibi sitting at Taylor House.

              In a decision dated 26 th June 2023 Judge Bibi allowed the appeal and it is against that decision that the Secretary of State by Notice dated 10 th July 2023 with the permission of Judge Chohan dated 27 th July 2023 brings this matter before the Upper Tribunal.

              In summary it is the Secretary of State's case that having found that Mr Ali did not meet the Immigration Rules, in particular Rule 276ADE, insufficient reasons were given for allowing the appeal when conducting a proportionality assessment.

              Of note at paragraph 7 of the decision it appears to have been conceded that at the date of the hearing Mr Ali had been continuously resident in the United Kingdom for nineteen years and two months with a start date of 11 th April 2004.
