For the Respondent: Miss G Kiai, Counsel, instructed by J D Spicer Zeb (87 Kilburn)
In this decision the Respondent is referred to as the Claimant and the Appellant is referred to as the ECO.
The Claimant, a national of the DRC, appealed against the decision of the ECO, dated 30 July 2013, to refuse entry clearance for the purposes of settlement with reference to paragraph 297 of the Immigration Rules HC 395 as amended. The appeal against that adverse decision came before First-tier Tribunal Judge Wellesley-Cole (the judge) who allowed the appeal presumably under paragraph 297 of the Rules.
Permission to appeal that decision was given by First-tier Tribunal Judge A D Baker on 4 March 2015.
The grounds on which permission was sought contain under the heading ' Ground 1' (there is no Ground 2) paragraph 2 a recitation of paragraph 297 of the Rules which does not of itself identify any error of law. The paragraph numbered 3 essentially became the core issue of whether or not the judge had properly addressed the Sponsor's sole responsibility for the Claimant.
