The Appellant was issued with entry clearance to the United Kingdom as a student on 10 September 2009. A grant of leave to remain was then made to him as a Tier 1 (Post Study Work) Migrant until 31 March 2013. On 8 March 2013 the Appellant applied for leave to remain as a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Migrant. That application was initially refused on 13 May 2013, but the decision was subsequently withdrawn and remade, so that it was refused again on 4 December 2013, and at the same time a decision was taken under s47 of the 2006 Act to remove the Appellant from the United Kingdom.

The Appellant appealed against those immigration decisions, and his appeal was heard by First Tier Tribunal Judge Cope on 5 March 2013, whereupon it was dismissed under the Immigration Rules, and on Article 8 grounds in a Determination promulgated on20 March 2014.

The Respondent served a Rule 24 response to the grounds of appeal dated 3 July 2014 which simply asserted that the Judge was entitled to reach the conclusions that he did. Neither party has applied for permission to rely upon further evidence.
