The Secretary of State appeals with permission against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Roots promulgated on 29 October 2020, in which AHAA's appeal against the decision to revoke his refugee status, refuse his protection and human rights claims was allowed only on human rights grounds under Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, and dismissed on all other grounds. For ease I continue to refer to the parties as they were before the First-tier Tribunal, with AHAA as the Appellant and the Secretary of State as the Respondent.
The Appellant is a national of Somalia, born on 25 August 1997, who entered the United Kingdom on 26 September 2010 under the family reunification provisions and was granted leave to remain in line with his father up to 20 April 2018.
On 4 November 2013, the Appellant was cautioned for assault occasioning actual bodily harm. On 5 May 2015, the Appellant was convicted of possessing a knife in a public place for which he was sentenced to a nine month referral order, ordered to pay costs and a victim surcharge. On 4 December 2018, the Appellant was convicted of robbery and common assault for which he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, with a two month concurrent sentence and ordered to pay a victim surcharge.
On 23 January 2019, the Respondent issued the Appellant with a decision to deport letter and on 12 June 2019 the Respondent notified the Appellant that section 72 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 applied and that there was an intention to revoke his refugee status. The latter was also notified to the UNHCR, who responded on 11 November 2019. The Appellant made written submissions in response on 5 September 2019.
Finally, the Respondent considered that the Appellant had arrived in the United Kingdom as a minor, his respective ties to Somalia and the United Kingdom, his criminal offences, that no family life was established with his parents and siblings for the purposes of Article 8 and concluded overall that there were no very compelling circumstances to outweigh the public interest in deportation.
