Pursuant to rule 14 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008, the appellant is granted anonymity.
No-one shall publish or reveal any information, including the name or address of the appellant, likely to lead members of the public to identify the appellant. Failure to comply with this order could amount to a contempt of court .
             The appellant appeals against a decision of the Secretary of State made on 7 June 2021 to refuse his asylum and human rights claims. His appeal against that decision was dismissed by the First-tier Tribunal ("FtT") but, for the reasons set out in my decision of 13 January 2025 ( a copy of which is attached), that decision was set aside with a direction that the decision would be remade on a narrow basis.
             The applicant is a citizen of Iraq. It is accepted that he is of Kurdish ethnicity, and it is not in doubt that he is from the Kirkuk area. He arrived in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2008 and claimed asylum. His initial claim was dismissed and his appeal against that decision was dismissed in 2009. Further submissions followed in November 2017 and although the Secretary of State accepted that as a fresh claim, dismissed the application. It was on that basis that the appeal came before Judge Montgomery.
             The basis of the appellant's claim is set out in the decision of the FtT and it is unnecessary to set that out in detail.
