UI2022003165 & Ors

Pursuant to rule 14 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008, [the appellant] ( and/or any member of his family, expert, witness or other person the Tribunal considers should not be identified ) is granted anonymity.

No-one shall publish or reveal any information, including the name or address of the appellant, likely to lead members of the public to identify the appellant ( and/or other person ). Failure to comply with this order could amount to a contempt of court .

              This is an appeal against the determination of First-tier Tribunal Judge Alis, promulgated on 10 th June 2022, following a hearing at Manchester on 26 th May 2022. In the determination, the judge dismissed the appeals of the Appellants, whereupon the Appellants subsequently applied for, and were granted, permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal, and thus the matter comes before me.

              The Appellants are Iraqi nationals. The second and third Appellants are the children of the first-named Appellant. They were born on 24 th May 1970, on 5 th March 1999, and on 12 th August 2001 respectively. They arrived by boat in this country as a family with the first-named Appellant's wife, on 10 th September 2019, and claimed asylum on the same day. They appeal against the refusal of their application by the Respondent on 12 th March 2021.

              The Appellant submitted two distinct grounds of appeal and on 14 th July 2022 the First-tier Tribunal rejected the application for permission to appeal. On 7 th October 2022, however, permission to appeal was granted by the Upper Tribunal, on the basis that it was arguable that the judge failed to reach clear findings on material parts of the evidence.
