DECISION AND REASONS
1. The appellant, a female citizen of Brazil, appeals to the Upper Tribunal against a decision of the First-tier Tribunal promulgated on 14 February 2020 which dismissed her appeal against Entry Clearance Officer's refusal of her application for entry clearance.
2. The respondent agrees that the First-tier Tribunal erred in law for the reasons advanced in the grounds of appeal. As I was aware of the respondent's position prior to the appeal (it was stated in a R24 notice dated 3 September 2020), I released the Senior Presenting Officer, Mrs Aboni. At the time given for the hearing to commence, there was no appearance by the appellant, sponsor or any representative. I proceeded in the absence of the parties accordingly.
3. The decision of the First-tier Tribunal is set aside. The appeal is returned to the First-tier Tribunal for that Tribunal to remake the decision.

Notice of Decision
The decision of the First-tier Tribunal is set aside. The appeal is returned to the First-tier Tribunal for that Tribunal to remake the decision.
