      The Appellant is a national of Iraq born in 1995. He appeals with permission against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal (Judge Hatton).
      The grounds upon which permission was granted are extensive, but I need not address all of them, since before me the parties are in agreement about at least one: the decision of the First-tier Tribunal is flawed for procedural unfairness and so must be set aside in its entirety.
      Having heard the point put to his lay client, Mr Greer asked the Tribunal for an opportunity to address it. He pointed out that there may be countervailing evidence available about whether the Jaff tribe has a leadership structure. The Tribunal denied Mr Greer that opportunity, finding that he had already had it: he had been aware before the hearing that all of the Appellant's account was challenged, and so it was implicit in this that the challenge extended to whether or nor the Jaff tribe had a leader as described.
      The decision of the First-tier Tribunal is set aside. No findings are preserved.
      The decision in the appeal will be remade in the First-tier Tribunal by a judge other than Judge Hatton.
