Pursuant to rule 14 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008, the appellant 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. Failure to comply with this order could amount to a contempt of court .
       The Appellant appeals with permission a decision of a judge of the First-tier Tribunal ('the Judge'), promulgated on 9 June 2023, in which the Judge dismissed his appeal against the refusal of his claim for international protection.
       The Appellant failed to attend today's hearing. I am satisfied he has been served with notice setting out the date, time, and venue of the hearing. There is no evidence of the notice of hearing being returned and no application for an adjournment that has been granted, or at all, and no explanation for the Appellant's failure. It is also the case that there is nothing to support a finding other than the interests of justice require the case to proceed in his absence especially when considering the Overriding Objective.
       The Judge notes the Appellant, a citizen of Pakistan born on 18 November 1996, arrived in the UK on 23 February 2019 lawfully with a student visa. He did not leave the UK when his leave expired. The Appellant was encountered by Immigration Officers and served with notice as an overstay on 20 November 2019, at which point he claimed asylum.
