             The Secretary of State appeals with the permission of the First-Tier Tribunal against a decision, signed on 19 December 2023, of Judge of the First-Tier Tribunal Gaskell ("the judge") allowing the appeal brought by Mr Prendi, on the ground that refusing him leave to enter breached the United Kingdom's obligations under Article 8 of the Human Rights Convention.
             Although the appellant is the entry clearance officer in this appeal, it is more convenient to refer to the parties as they were before the First-Tier Tribunal. I shall therefore refer in this decision to Mr Prendi as "the appellant" and to the entry clearance officer as "the respondent".
             I was not asked and saw no reason to make an anonymity order.
             The reasons for refusal provided by the respondent state in relevant part that the appellant's application failed the suitability requirements of the Immigration Rules. Reliance was placed on paragraph 3.8.2 of the rules paragraphs EC-P.1.1.(c) and S-EC.1.5 of Appendix FM of the rules. The reasons stated:
"As noted above, I am satisfied that you have previously contrived in a significant way to frustrate the intentions of the immigration rules. Therefore, and after referral to an Entry Clearance Manager, in light of your previous conduct I consider it undesirable to issue you an entry clearance and I am not prepared to exercise discretion in your favour."
