IA105262014 & Ors.

Permission to appeal was granted by First-tier Tribunal Judge Shimmin who stated that the grounds disclose arguable errors in assessment of the evidence and hence the law.

� �I found the evidence given by the appellant to be wholly lacking in credibility. In fact so poor was his grasp of what he was pretending that his business comprised of that at times it became quite awkward. Mr Howells pursued the point that, despite producing vast quantities of paper, there was not a single piece of paper demonstrating the appellant�s work. Indeed there was no flyers or other forms of advertising or CVs produced business plans et cetera.� [15 (iv)]

� The appellant appeared incapable of detailing some aspects of his claimed business. For instance, Mr Howells asked him about his involvement in training and suggested to the appellant that he does a lot of training, to which he replied �not just training, business consultancy�. When he was then asked about the media he used in training, he eventually said that the training was not that difficult �I don�t teach them anything�. [15 (vi)]

I heard submissions from both parties at the hearing the full notes of which are in my record of proceedings.

I have considered the determination, the grounds of appeal and the parties� submissions in my assessment whether there is a material error of law in the determination of Judge Creswell. The permission Judge merely stated that �the grounds disclose arguable errors in assessment of the evidence and hence the law�.
