The Appellants, born on 20 November 1939 and 29 January 1949 respectively are husband and wife. Both are citizens of Syria. On 1 September 2013 they applied for a grant of entry clearance for the purpose of settlement as the dependent parents of their youngest son, who held ILR, and was employed as a doctor in the UK. Their applications were refused on 20 November 2013.
The Appellants� appeals were heard by First Tier Tribunal Judge AJM Baldwin at Richmond on 21 August 2014, and in a determination promulgated on 29 August 2014 those appeals were dismissed.
By a decision of Upper Tribunal Judge Goldstein of 23 January 2015 the Appellants were granted permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal on the basis it was arguable the Judge had fallen into error in refusing the request made by the Appellants for an adjournment of the hearing of their appeals in order that their sponsor might attend to give evidence at that hearing.
The Respondent filed a Rule 24 Notice on 29 January 2014 complaining that the sponsor should not have simply assumed that an adjournment would be granted, and failed to attend the hearing. Neither party has applied for permission to rely upon further evidence pursuant to Rule 15(2A) of the Upper Tribunal Procedure Rules 2008.
When the appeal was called on for hearing before the Judge, the sponsor was not present, although the Appellants were represented by Mr Tablieh of Cham Solicitors.
