The claimant is a citizen of Pakistan born on 26 th July 1935. He is therefore 80 years old. He wished to come to the UK to visit his six children and their spouses, and his eight grandchildren who live in this country as well as some more distant relatives.
The claimant applied for entry clearance to come to the UK as a visitor on 25 th August 2014. His appeal against the decision of the entry clearance officer dated 28 th August 2014 refusing him a visit visa was allowed by First-tier Tribunal Judge Wellesley-Cole in a determination promulgated on the 1 st March 2016.
Permission to appeal was granted by Judge of the First-tier Tribunal JM Holmes on 9 th June 2016 on the basis that it was arguable that the First-tier judge had erred in law in failing to determine the appeal on the basis that the only right of appeal against refusal of a visit visa is (since 25 th June 2013) on human rights grounds, and in failing to determine the appeal with reference to the relevant human rights law principles or case law.
The matter came before me to determine whether the First-tier Tribunal had erred in law.
Ms Azhar submitted that the findings made by the First-tier Tribunal were ones open to the judge, but accepted that she could not point to any findings that family life existed between the claimant and sponsors in the UK, or that refusal of entry clearance interfered with that family life.
