The Appellant is a citizen of the Philippines born on 16 th March 1969. His application for entry clearance as a partner under Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules was refused by the Respondent on 11 th December 2012. An appeal against that refusal was dismissed under the Immigration Rules but allowed on human rights grounds (Article 8) by Judge of the First-tier Tribunal Jessica Pacey on 2 nd January 2014.
Permission to appeal was granted in the First-tier Tribunal on 21 st January 2014 to the Respondent. In this determination, and in the hope of avoiding confusion, I propose to continue to refer to Mr Perez as the Appellant and the Entry Clearance Officer as the Respondent. Thus the matter came before me in the Upper Tribunal on 2 nd May 2014.
The Appellant�s Sponsor is Ms Dawn Friar. Ms Friar was present at the hearing and representation was as mentioned above.
In submissions, Mr McVeety relied upon the grounds submitted on behalf of the Respondent in support of an application for permission to appeal. The grounds state that the First-tier Tribunal allowed the appeal under Article 8, it having been conceded on behalf of the Appellant before the First-tier Tribunal that the requirements of the Immigration Rules were not satisfied. The grounds submit that in so doing the Tribunal erred in law.
A Rule 24 response, drafted by Mr Briddock, was filed on behalf of the Appellant. That was adopted and amplified by Mr Briddock in his oral submission.
