             By a decision promulgated on 18 August 2023, First-tier Tribunal Judge Feeney ("the judge"), as she then was, dismissed an appeal brought by the appellant, a citizen of Sri Lanka born in 1980, against a decision of the Secretary of State dated 10 January 2022 to refuse his human rights claim, made in the context of a decision to deport him pursuant to section 32(5) of the UK Borders Act 2007. The judge heard the appeal under section 82(1) of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 ("the 2002 Act").
             The appellant appeals against the decision of the judge with the permission of First-tier Tribunal Judge L. K. Gibbs.
             It was common ground at the hearing before us that Judge Gibbs must have had another case in mind when giving her reasons for her decision to grant permission to appeal.
             Ahead of the hearing in the Upper Tribunal, we took steps to ascertain through the tribunal's administration whether there was another decision granting permission to appeal by Judge Gibbs, by reference to reasons relating to these proceedings. We were told that no such decision could be found.
             There are any number of explanations for what took place. The most plausible is that the reasons Judge Gibbs had in mind for granting permission to appeal in these proceedings may well feature in another, unidentified case.
