The Appellants are citizens of Iran. They are mother and daughter. They appeal with permission against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal (Judge Hindson) which in a determination promulgated on 3 rd June 2014, dismissed their appeals against the Respondent's decision of 25 th July 2013 refusing to grant them entry clearance to the UK as visitors.
They applied to visit Mr Gholam Hossein Talei, who is the husband of the first Appellant and the father of the second. They also wanted to visit Mr Mahmoud Talei who is the son of the first Appellant and the brother of the second. At the time of the applications Mahmoud Talei was living in the same area as his father. He has now removed to Glasgow.
When their appeals came before Judge Hindson it was expected that Mr Gholam Hossein Talei would attend the hearing to give evidence on their behalf. He did not attend but Mr Bari from Chapeltown Law Centre did. Mr Bari had clearly expected Mr Gholam Hossein Talei to attend the hearing because the Judge records this at [2] of his decision. It would appear then, that being without instructions, Mr Bari withdrew his representation.
The Judge went on to hear submissions from the respondent and dismissed both Appellants' appeals.
Permission to appeal was sought and initially refused by the FtT, but a renewed application before the Upper Tribunal, was granted. The relevant parts of the grant are set out below:
