The Respondent, CG, is a national of Zimbabwe born on the [ ] 1983. On the 13 th April 2017 the First-tier Tribunal (Judge OR Williams) allowed, on human rights grounds, her appeal against a decision to deport her. The Secretary of State now has permission [1] to appeal against that decision.
There would be no reason to anonymise the Appellant's identity. This case does however turn on the presence in the United Kingdom of four children; I am concerned that identification of the Appellant could lead to identification of those children. Having had regard to Rule 14 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008 and the Presidential Guidance Note No 1 of 2013: Anonymity Orders I therefore consider it appropriate to make an order in the following terms:
"Unless and until a tribunal or court directs otherwise, the Appellant is granted anonymity. No report of these proceedings shall directly or indirectly identify her or any member of her family. This direction applies to, amongst others, both the Appellant and the Respondent. Failure to comply with this direction could lead to contempt of court proceedings"
The background facts are these. GC arrived in the United Kingdom on the 3 rd February 2003 and claimed asylum. She was granted asylum, and indefinite leave to remain, on the 26 th March 2003, it being accepted that she had a well- founded fear in Zimbabwe for reasons of her political opinion. Her husband and daughter were both subsequently granted indefinite leave in line with her.
On the 13 th February 2015 GC was convicted at Bolton Crown Court of fraud charges: "making false representations to make gain for herself or another or to cause loss to another or expose another to risk". She was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment on the 6 th March 2015. This was the index offence which led the Secretary of State for the Home Department to take action to deport her. GC was served with a notice of intention to deport; the UNHCR was informed that her refugee status was to be revoked; the deportation order was signed on the 2 nd August 2016.
