VA027922014

For the Respondent: Ms Hulse, Counsel for Harris Ali & Co, Solicitors, Middlesex

The Appellant in these proceedings is the Secretary of State, however for convenience I shall now refer to the parties as they were before the First Tier Tribunal.

The Appellant is a citizen of Pakistan born on 15 July 1955. She appealed against the decision of the Respondent dated 20 July 2014 refusing to grant her entry clearance to the United Kingdom as a family visitor. Her appeal was heard by Judge of the First Tier Tribunal Symes and the appeal was allowed on human rights grounds in a determination promulgated on 10 December 2014.

This appeal is restricted to human rights grounds or race discrimination grounds:- in this case human rights grounds.

The Appellant�s daughter is the sponsor in this case. She left Pakistan in 1998 and the Presenting Officer submitted that the Judge did not explain why it would be disproportionate for this visit not to go ahead. She submitted that the visit only leads to a temporary situation and the Appellant can reapply for a visa and address the Entry Clearance Officer�s concerns which are set out in the refusal letter, in particular the Appellant�s intention and likelihood of returning to Pakistan within the terms of her visa.
