The appellant is a national of Somalia who claims to be married to a Dutch national exercising treaty rights in the United Kingdom. The appellant applied for entry clearance to enable her to join her husband in the United Kingdom. That application was refused. The notice of refusal is dated 9 July 2012. The appellant appealed to the First-tier Tribunal and after a hearing on 15 April 2013 Judge A E Walker dismissed the appeal. The appellant now has permission to appeal to this Tribunal.
We emphasise in doing that firstly, that we do not reach the conclusion that the First-tier Tribunal Judge�s judgement was on the merits wrong: we do not know; but we emphasise also that although none of her findings of fact are preserved the evidence that was given before the First-tier Tribunal is evidence in the case and will fall for consideration in addition to any other evidence when the appeal is reheard.
We therefore set aside the Judge�s decision and direct that the appeal be reheard by the First-tier Tribunal by a different judge.
