For the Respondent: Ms A Radford, Counsel instructed by Turpin & Miller Solicitors
This is an appeal brought by the Secretary of State against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal allowing the appeal of the respondent, hereinafter "the claimant", against a decision of the Secretary of State on 10 May 2016 to revoke his status as a refugee and a decision dated 23 May 2016 (served on 9 June 2016), to refuse him leave to remain on human rights grounds after deciding that he is subject to deportation by reason of section 32(5) of the UK Borders Act 2007.
"The appellant's appeal against revocation of his refugee status and against deportation is allowed
The claimant appealed the decisions on the grounds that the decisions were contrary to the United Kingdom's obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and under the Refugee Convention and therefore that by reason of section 33(2) of the UK Borders Act 2007 he was not subject to "automatic deportation" under section 32 of that Act.
Lest there be any room for confusion we make it plain that this is not a case where it is said that the claimant is, by reason of his bad behaviour or otherwise, disentitled to protection under the Refugee Convention. The decision to cease his status was based on the Secretary of State's view that he no longer needed protection.
