This is an appeal against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge E M M Smith issued on 20 August 2018. The decision of Judge Smith allowed the appeal of Ms [C] against a decision dated 11 March 2018 revoking her refugee status and seeking to deport her.
Permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal was granted on 10 September 2018 by the First-tier Tribunal.
For the purposes of the hearing and this decision it is convenient to refer to Ms [C] as "the appellant" and the Secretary of State as "the respondent" reflecting their positions before the First-tier Tribunal.
The background to the matter is that, having come to the UK in 2002, Ms [C] was granted refugee status following a successful First-tier Tribunal appeal in 2009. An application in 2014 for indefinite leave to remain after 5 years' leave as a refugee was not granted but Ms [C] was granted further discretionary leave until 21 April 2018.
However, alongside that immigration history, Ms [C] was convicted of two criminal offences. The first was in 2011 for use of fraudulent documents for which she received a sentence of imprisonment of 8 months. The more serious matter and what can be referred to as the index offence was for dangerous driving for which she was convicted on 10 May 2016 and on 24 May 2016 sentenced to 12 months imprisonment.
