For the Appellants: Miss Pinder of Counsel instructed by Polpitiya & Co, Solicitors
The appellants appeal with permission against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Roots promulgated on 11 August 2016 dismissing their appeals against decisions of the Entry Clearance Officer in Kampala to refuse them entry clearance as in the case of the first appellant, the spouse of a refugee present in the United Kingdom, and in the case of the second to fourth appellants as the children of Mrs Nasra Abdullahi Mohamed whom I refer to as "the sponsor", and the first appellant.
The decisions in this case were made on 9 January 2015 in respect of the first appellant and on 16 January 2015 in respect of the third, second and fourth appellants.
It is said that the couple became separated in 2008 and it was only after her arrival in the United Kingdom that by chance the sponsor was able to get back in contact with her husband and children, finding that they were by this point in Uganda.
Judge Roots heard oral evidence from the first appellant. He also had before him a bundle containing witness statements and a certain number of other documents. It is also important to note that by this point DNA evidence had been provided indicating that the second to fourth appellants were the children of the first appellant and the sponsor.
