Pursuant to Rule 14 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008 (SI 2008/269), we make an anonymity direction. Unless the Upper Tribunal or a Court directs otherwise, no report of these proceedings or any form of publication thereof shall directly or indirectly identify the appellant(s).
This is the Secretary of State's appeal against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Bart-Stewart promulgated 22.11.18, dismissing on asylum and humanitarian protection grounds the claimant's appeal against the decision of 6.2.17 to terminate his refugee status and to deport him from the UK, but allowing the appeal on articles 3 & 8 ECHR grounds. For ease of reference I will refer to the Secretary of State (who was the original respondent) as "the Secretary of State" and to FA (who the original respondent) as the "claimant."
First-tier Tribunal Judge Hodgkinson granted permission to appeal to the Secretary of State on 12.12.18.
The claimant cross appealed against the dismissal of the appeal on refugee grounds but permission was refused in the First-tier Tribunal by Designated First-Tier Tribunal Judge Woodcraft on 7.1.19 and in the Upper Tribunal by Upper Tribunal Judge Smith on 8.3.19.
It follows that the only valid appeal before the Upper Tribunal is that of the Secretary of State against the decision allowing the appeal on articles 3 and 8 grounds. However, the claimant has served a Rule 24 reply, which we have carefully considered.
