Before

UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE KEBEDE


Between

LN
(anonymity order made)
Appellant
and

SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT
Respondent


DECISION AND REASONS
1. The appellant, a citizen of Albania born in June 1998, arrived in the United Kingdom in November 2014 and claimed asylum. His claim was refused by the respondent on 19 June 2015 and he appealed against that decision. His appeal was heard by the First-tier Tribunal and, in a decision promulgated on 24 May 2016, was dismissed on all grounds.
2. Following a grant of permission to appeal against that decision, it was found, at an error of law hearing on 27 July 2016, that the First-tier Tribunal had made errors of law in its decision. The decision was accordingly set aside and directions made for it to be re-made.
3. In a consent order signed by both parties, and in an accompanying email from Mr Deller of the Home Office dated 23 September 2016, the respondent requested the Tribunal's consent for the withdrawal of the respondent's case that the appellant was not entitled to refugee status and gave consent to the Tribunal summarily allowing the appellant's appeal on the basis that the decision under appeal was contrary to the United Kingdom's obligations under the Refugee Convention.
4. In light of the above, the appellant's appeal is allowed on the basis that his removal from the UK would breach the United Kingdom's obligations under the Refugee Convention.

DECISION
5. The original Tribunal was found to have made an error of law. I re-make the decision by allowing the appellant's appeal.
