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. The Appellant shall henceforth be referred to as FP. Failure to comply with this order could amount to a contempt of court .

                  By a decision promulgated on 17 January 2024, I found an error of law in the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge K Swinnerton dated 31 August 2023 dismissing the Appellant's appeal against the Respondent's decision dated 23 September 2021 refusing her protection and human rights claims. My error of law decision is appended hereto for ease of reference.

                  The Appellant's claims were made in the context of a removal to the Philippines. Her appeal was dismissed by Judge Swinnerton on asylum, humanitarian protection and human rights grounds.

                  I preserved the findings made by Judge Swinnerton at [18] to [28] of his decision. Accordingly, the Appellant's appeal remains dismissed on asylum and humanitarian protection grounds. The Judge's finding that there would not be very significant obstacles to the Appellant's integration in the Philippines was also preserved.

                  I found an error of law only on one narrow issue, namely whether removal of the Appellant to the Philippines would be a disproportionate interference with her Article 8 ECHR rights arising from her private and if appropriate family life in the UK. That therefore is the only issue which I am here determining.
