NOTICE OF DECISION

1. The Appellant had applied to join his mother, Ms Dolapo Becy Adeyemi, who had limited leave to remain in the United Kingdom as a highly skilled migrant. The Respondent refused his application on May 13, 2013 under paragraph 319H (b) and (c) HC 395.

2. The Appellant appealed to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum) under Section 82(1) Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (hereinafter called the 2002 Act) and on April 10, 2014 Judge of the First-tier Tribunal Lawrence (hereinafter called "the Judge") heard his appeal. He dismissed the appellant's appeal under the Immigration Rules and Article 8 ECHR in a decision promulgated on April 24, 2014.

3. On July 29, 2014 the appellant's solicitors, OA Solicitors, wrote the following letter-

"We continue to act for the above named appellant in respect of his immigration appeal. We are instructed to withdraw the appeal. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any question."

4. Mr Tufan did not object to the appellant withdrawing his appeal.

5. Rule 17 The Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008 allows a party to withdraw an appeal but sub-section (2) states, "notice of withdrawal will not take effect until the Upper Tribunal consents to withdrawal except in an application for permission to appeal".

6. In the circumstances I agreed to the withdrawal of the appeal.

7. The effect of this withdrawal is that the original decision stands.
