For the Appellant: Mr M Blundell, Counsel instructed by UK Migration Lawyers
For the Respondent: Mr N Bramble, Senior Presenting Officer
DECISION AND REASONS
1. This matter comes before us as a consequence of a previous Error of Law Decision and Reasons finding that the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Braybrook contained a material error of law and that her findings should be set aside.
2. The Appellants request that their appeals be remitted to the First-tier Tribunal. The Secretary of State does not oppose that request. The Practice Statement dated 25 September 2012 of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal states as follows at paragraph 7.2:
'7.2 The Upper Tribunal is likely on each such occasion to proceed to remake the decision, instead of remitting the case to the First-tier Tribunal, unless the Upper Tribunal is satisfied that:-
(a) the effect of the error has been to deprive a party before the First-tier Tribunal of a fair hearing or other opportunity for that party's case to be put to and considered by the First-tier Tribunal; or
(b) the nature or extent of any judicial fact finding which is necessary in order for the decision in the appeal to be re-made is such that, having regard to the overriding objective in rule 2, it is appropriate to remit the case to the First-tier Tribunal.'
3. Pursuant to the Practice Statement, we are satisfied that the nature and extent of judicial fact-finding in the re-making of this appeal is such that, having regard to the overriding objective in rule 2, it is appropriate to remit the appeals to the First-tier Tribunal.
4. The appeals are hereby remitted to the First-tier Tribunal, to be heard by a judge of the First-tier Tribunal other than Judge Braybrook.
