The appellant is Amit Aloysh Macwan. The appellant to the Upper Tribunal is the Secretary of State and we shall refer to the former as "the claimant" and the latter as "the Secretary of State".

In a decision relating to the claimant issued on 17 December 2015 Judge Pullig who was dealing with it in the First-tier Tribunal remarked "This appeal is fraught with difficulty". In the subsequent eighteen months the circumstances of the claimant appear to have become even more difficult to understand. He is unrepresented before us. We are grateful to Mr Wilding for giving us some indication of the history of the claimant's various claims.

The claimant had been in the United Kingdom for a considerable period of time when he left the United Kingdom on 26 May 2016. We mark those facts at the beginning of this judgment because the latter of them is a crucial one in relation to this appeal and also the claimant's previous history.

Following the failure of the judicial review, the claimant appealed to the First-tier Tribunal against the Section 10 decision. He was not at that stage outside the United Kingdom. It therefore follows that (as we can say at any rate with the benefit of hindsight) he had no exercisable right of appeal and had not exercised the right of appeal that he had, that appeal being limited to an appeal from outside the country.

For the reasons we have given however, that further error makes no difference in the case of this appeal, which is dismissed for the reasons we have given.
