UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE RINTOUL

Between

CHUN ZHAO
Appellant

and


SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT
Respondent

NOTICE OF ABANDONMENT PURUSANT TO RULE 17A
1. By way of a letter to the Upper Tribunal dated 26 February 2015 the appellant's representative states that appellant has left the United Kingdom and thus his appeal is deemed withdrawn.
2. Although section 104 of the 2002 Act has been amended by the Immigration Act 2014 with effect from 20 October 2014 by operation of The Immigration Act (Commencement No. 3, Transitional and Saving Provisions) Order 2014 ("the Order"), section 104 of the 2002 Act is one of the "saved provisions" as defined in article 1 (e) of that order and so by operation of article 9 of the Order, continues to have effect as the appellant is not a person who falls within either article 10 or 11 of the Order.
3. I am therefore satisfied that as the applicant has left the United Kingdom, the appeal is to be treated as abandoned pursuant to section 104 (4) of the 2002 Act. The Upper Tribunal must therefore issue a notice pursuant to rule 17A (2) informing the parties that the appeal is being treated as abandoned. This is a Notice pursuant to rule 17A (2) to inform the parties that the appellant's case is deemed abandoned.
4. The effect of the respondent's case being deemed abandoned is that the proceedings before the Upper Tribunal are at an end
