For the Respondent: Mr D Byrne, Advocate, instructed by Drummond Miller, Solicitors
The parties are as described above, but the rest of this determination refers to them as they were in the First-tier Tribunal.
Given the dangerous situation in Syria, that the appellant would be living there as a woman alone and as a member of a religious minority at a time when Christians are being attacked and having regard to the fact that the appellant has always lived as a close family member of her brother�s family, I find the circumstances demonstrate a good arguable case outwith the Rules. The appellant would be accompanying her brother to the UK. There is accommodation and financial support available for her in the UK with her close family members and particularly her brother and sister-in-law.
I have taken full account of the respondent�s view of the State�s obligations under Article 8 of the ECHR as set out in the Rules but in all the circumstances � having regard to all the factors I find that the appeal should be allowed � there has been demonstrated � that any interference in family life, occasioned by the respondent�s decision, would be disproportionate.
(a) The judge considers that the appellant would be living in Syria as a lone woman and would be at risk, but refers to no evidence that the particular risk is any more than another person living in Syria in similar circumstances.
