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 First-tier Tribunal Judge V Jones ('the Judge'), promulgated following a hearing on 15 February 2024 at Birmingham, in which the Judge dismissed his appeal against the Respondent's decision of 26 June 2023 refusing his application, made on 21 March 2023, for leave to enter the United Kingdom as the adopted child of the sponsor in the United Kingdom.
             The Judge records that there was no appearance for the Appellant when the matter was called on and so the case was put back to enable the representative/sponsor to appear. By 11:55 they had not done so and there had been no contact from the representatives to explain their absence. The Judge therefore found it was in accordance with the overriding objective to hear the case in the absence of any representative or witness for the appellant.
             The Appellant sought permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal which was refused by another judge of the First-tier Tribunal on 15 March 2024, and renewed to the Upper Tribunal.
