              This is an appeal by the appellant against a decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Swinnerton, (the "judge"), dated 27 October 2023, in which he dismissed the appellant's appeal against the respondent's decision to refuse leave to remain on human rights grounds. The appellant is a national of Albania who applied for leave to remain based on his relationship with his son.
              Permission to appeal was granted to a limited extent by First-tier Tribunal Judge Curtis in a decision dated 29 January 2024 as follows:
Additionally, whether or not the Appellant has a genuine and subsisting parental relationship with his son is immaterial given the child is not "qualifying".
The ground is a challenge to the failure to make findings and is not, in terms, a challenge to the adequacy of reasoning. In that context, I consider it arguable that the Judge has failed to make findings about the evidential scope, and weight of, the ISW report. Since that report goes to the heart of a matter that the Judge was required to treat as a primary consideration, it is arguable that the Judge has erred in this regard."
              Judge Curtis did not grant permission on Ground 2.
