The first respondent is a citizen of Pakistan born on 1 January 1959. The second respondent is his wife, born on 14 October 1966. In this decision I will refer to the respondents as "the claimants".
In a decision promulgated on 18 May 2015, First-tier Tribunal ("FtT") Judge Wyman allowed the claimants' appeals against the decision of the appellant (hereinafter "the ECO") to refuse their application for a visa to visit the United Kingdom for 40 days.
The claimants appealed and their appeal was heard by FtT Judge Wyman. The FtT considered the evidence before it pertaining to the circumstances of the claimants and concluded that they were genuine visitors who would return to Pakistan after the proposed visit and satisfied the requirements of paragraph 41 of the Immigration Rules.
Having made a finding with respect to the Immigration Rules, the FtT gave only brief consideration to Article 8 of the ECHR. The entirety of its analysis is contained in paragraph [43], which I set out in full:
"43. Turning briefly to Article 8, I note the appellant wished to come to the UK for a family funeral. However I am not satisfied that the refusal of leave is justified for the purposes of maintaining effective immigration control or is proportionate"
