Although the Secretary of State is the appellant in these proceedings before the Upper Tribunal, for ease of reference I will refer to the parties as they were in the First-tier Tribunal
            The Secretary of State has been granted permission to appeal from the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge R. Short promulgated on 14 December 2023 ("the Decision") whereby she allowed on human rights grounds the appellant's appeal against the decision to deport him to Portugal as a foreign criminal.
            The second appeal (which has a reference of HU/00987/2022) was brought by the appellant in respect of the decision of the Home Office date 13 June 2022 to make a deportation order against him under the Immigration Act 1971 ("the HR appeal").
            The two appeals were joined by directions issued on 11 May 2023, and a substantive hearing of the conjoined appeals took place before Judge Short sitting at Columbus House, Newport, on 31 August 2023 and 6 December 2023. Both parties were legally represented.
            As recorded by the Judge at para [11], the appellant himself and five witnesses provided witness statements and gave oral evidence to the Tribunal, and were cross-examined. The appellant's mother submitted a witness statement and gave oral evidence on 6 December 2023.
