This is the appellant's appeal against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Turquet promulgated 22.8.16, dismissing on all grounds her appeal against the decision of the Secretary of State, dated 28.4.15, to refuse her application made on 17.3.15 for LTR on article 8 grounds outside the Rules.
At the appellant's request, the judge dealt with the appeal on the papers, without an oral hearing.
First-tier Tribunal Judge Baker refused permission to appeal on 25.1.17. However, when the application was renewed to the Upper Tribunal, Upper Tribunal Judge McWilliams granted permission to appeal on 8.3.17.
At the hearing I found no error of law in the making of the decision of the First-tier Tribunal such that the decision of Judge Turquet should be set aside. I reserved my reasons, which I now summarise.
As Judge McWilliam noted in the grant of permission, the First-tier Tribunal was not assisted by the appellant and the way in which the appeal was presented was deficient. As this was a paper case, as the appellant's request, the judge had only the evidence and information then in the court file on which to decide the appeal.
