The Entry Clearance Officer appeals against a decision of the First-tier Tribunal (Judge Carroll), allowing the Ms Krouchan�s appeal against a refusal to grant her entry clearance as a visitor under para 41 of the Immigration Rules (HC 395 as amended).
For convenience, I will hereafter refer to the parties as they appeared before the First-tier Tribunal.
The appellant is a national of Syria. She and her grandmother applied for entry clearance to visit the appellant�s aunt who is the daughter of the appellant�s grandmother. On 29 November 2012, the ECO refused the appellant and her grandmother entry clearance to visit the appellant�s aunt in the UK.
Both the appellant and her grandmother appealed against those decisions to the First-tier Tribunal. The appeal was determined without a hearing. In a determination promulgated on 25 April 2014, Judge Carroll allowed both the appellant�s appeal and that of her grandmother under the Immigration Rules, namely para 41 of HC 395.
The ECO accepted Judge Carroll�s decision in relation to the appellant�s grandmother. However, the ECO sought permission to appeal against Judge Carroll�s decision to allow the appellant�s appeal under the Immigration Rules on the basis that she only had a right of appeal on human rights or race relations grounds. The judge had erred in law in allowing the appellant�s appeal under the Immigration Rules and, in fact, there was no valid appeal before the First-tier Tribunal.
