For the Appellants: Mr S Harding of Counsel instructed by Bhogal Partners Solicitors

These are linked appeals against the decisions of First-tier Tribunal Judge Symes promulgated on 28 July 2015 dismissing the Appellants' appeals against decisions of the Secretary of State for the Home Department dated 9 February 2015 that each of the Appellants should be removed from the United Kingdom.

The Appellants are citizens of India. The first two Appellants are the parents of the Third and Fourth Appellants. Their respective personal details are a matter of record on the file and I do not propose to re-state those save to identify that the two sons of the family were born on 26 October 1993 and 14 July 1995 respectively. As such they entered the United Kingdom as children but by the date of the Respondent's decisions (and necessarily also at the time of the hearing before the First-tier Tribunal), they were both adults.

The family members' respective immigration histories are also a matter of record on file and again I do not propose to set those out in detail. However, for present purposes, it is relevant to note that there is a factual error at paragraph 25 of the decision of the First-tier Tribunal which suggests that both sons arrived in the UK in 2009. In fact the Third Appellant arrived in the United Kingdom in 2006 accompanied by his mother. It was the Fourth Appellant who arrived on his own later in 2009.
