              The Appellant is a national of Iraq born on 1 September 1983. He arrived in the UK on 6 February 2004 and claimed asylum the following day on the basis that he was an Iranian national named Bahrain Ali Muradi. He was granted leave to remain under the provisions of the SSHD's legacy policy concession on 6 January 2010 and the following year, on 7 February 2011, he became a British citizen. Thereafter, he changed his name by deed poll to Barbaz Ahman Abdullah.
              Subsequently on 16 May 2022, due to the fact that it was discovered that the Appellant was in fact a national of Iraq, the Secretary of State made a decision to deprive him of his British citizenship. He appealed against that decision and his appeal came before the First-tier Tribunal for hearing on 3 March 2023.
              Permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal was granted by Upper Tribunal Judge C Lane in a decision dated 20 October 2023 and sent on 13 January 2024, in the following terms:
"The renewed grounds raise arguable challenges to the First-tier Tribunal's assessment of the materially of the appellant's giving a false name and nationality in the context of the operation of the legacy scheme under which he gained British nationality. All the grounds may be argued".
              At the hearing before the Upper Tribunal, Mr Pipe sought to rely on his grounds of appeal.
