THE IMMIGRATION ACTS


At Manchester CJC via Teams
Decision & Reasons Promulgated
On 19 August 2021

Before

UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE PLIMMER


Between

ADOLF LOKKO
Appellant
and

SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT
Respondent


Representation:
For the Appellant: Mr Tampuri, OISC Level 2 representative at Tamsons Legal Services
For the Respondent: Mr Tan, Senior Home Office Presenting Officer


DECISION AND REASONS (V)

UPON the parties agreeing with the following

a) The decision of the FTT promulgated on 25 October 2019, after a hearing on 22 October 2019, should be set aside pursuant to rule 43 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008 (as amended) ('the Procedure Rules'). This is because the notice of the FTT hearing was not received by the appellant or his representatives and the hearing proceeded in the absence of the appellant. In the circumstances the conditions in rule 43(a) and (c) are met and it is in the interests to set aside the FTT decision.

b) None of the FTT's findings of fact are preserved.

c) The matter should be remitted to the FTT.

AND UPON the Tribunal considering in these circumstances that it is appropriate to set aside the FTT decision pursuant to rule 43 of the Procedure Rules and to remit the matter to the FTT

IT IS ORDERED BY CONSENT:

The decision of the FTT is set aside.

The matter is remitted to the FTT to a judge other than FTTJ Mill.
