             At the parties' request, this was a hybrid hearing. Both representatives attended by video link (Teams). There were no connectivity difficulties and I am satisfied the hearing proceeded in a similar way had the representative attended in person.
             Having considered the grounds of appeal against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Freer, Ms Gilmore informed me that the Secretary of State does not oppose the appeal because it contains legal error relating to a failure to consider the best interests of a child and because the findings about sole responsibility lack clarity.
             The parties agreed that the appeal should be remitted because of the nature and extent of the error.
The decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Freer contains legal error and is set aside.
The appeal is remitted to be decided afresh by a different judge of the First-tier Tribunal.
