For the Respondent: Mr I Khan, Counsel, instructed by JA Stifford Law, Solicitors
The Appellant, a citizen of Bangladesh, applied, together with her mother, for entry clearance to visit in the UK her husband, who has two children by his previous marriage to his first wife, the Appellant's sister, who has sadly died.
The applications were refused. The ensuing appeals were heard by Judge Cockrill sitting at Taylor House on 13 January 2015. Both parties were represented, the appellants by Mr Khan. In a determination of 13 January 2015, promulgated on 19 January, the judge allowed the appeal of the Appellant, whilst dismissing that of her mother. At the hearing before me Mr Khan said that the mother's appeal had been withdrawn.
The Respondent sought permission to appeal, essential on the grounds that the Article 8 proportionality assessment by the judge was inadequate and was being utilised beyond its proper scope as a general dispensing power, bearing in mind that it is virtually the only ground of appeal in a visit visa application. As subsequently supplemented by procedural directions, permission to appeal was granted on 4 March 2015, by Judge Chambers in the following terms:
"1. Permission is sought in time, to appeal against the decision of Judge of the First-tier Tribunal T Cockrill promulgated on 19 January 2015.
