The appellant in these proceedings is the Secretary of State. For convenience however, I refer to the parties as they were before the First-tier Tribunal.
The appellant is a citizen of Ukraine born on 9 October 1984. She applied on 2 August 2013 for a residence card on the basis that she is the family member of an EEA national exercising Treaty rights. The appellant's husband is the EEA national.
The respondent refused the application because of a question that arose about the validity of the appellant's Ukrainian passport. That was a matter that went to the question of the validity of the appeal under regulation 26 of the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 ("the EEA Regulations"), specifically regulation 26(2).
"The appeal is allowed only on the preliminary issue of the validity of the appeal. The respondent will now require (sic) to issue a fresh decision."
Incidentally, under the heading of "Fee award" it was said that as the appeal had been allowed no fee award would be made and the merits of the appeal had yet to be determined.
