       This is the re-making of the decision in the appellant's appeal, following the setting aside of the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Mathews which had dismissed the appellant's appeal against the respondent's decision to refuse his asylum and human rights claim.

       The appellant appealed against that decision and, following the grant of permission, his appeal came before Upper Tribunal Judge Kamara on 14 September 2023. Judge Kamara summarised the grounds of appeal as follows:

i) In respect of the issue of enforced removal to Baghdad, there was a failure to make a finding as to the whereabouts of the appellant's original identity documents;

ii) the application of the incorrect burden of proof regarding whether the relevant civil affairs office has transferred to the INID system;

iii) there was a factual error in the finding that the appellant had not previously expressed political views in his earlier protection claim;
