THE IMMIGRATION ACTS
Heard at Field House
Decision & Reasons Promulgated
On 10 December 2014
On 15 December 2014
Oral judgment
Before
UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE COKER
Between
Mr Nuraden Husen Ahmed
Mrs Teyira Ahmed Yuya
(anonymity direction NOT MADE)
Appellants
and
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT
Respondent
Representation:
For the Appellants: Ms B Poynor, Counsel instructed by B.H.T. Immigration Legal Services
For the Respondent: Mr S Walker, Home Office Presenting Officer
DETERMINATION AND REASONS
1. This is the appeal of Nuraden Husen Ahmed and Teyira Ahmed Yuya against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Mark Eldridge dismissing their appeals for entry clearance.
2. Permission to appeal was granted on all grounds that were pleaded namely that the findings of the judge that the documents provided by the young man in relation to his date of birth were not reliable or corroborative of his claimed date of birth; that the decision was reached without reference to any expert evidence and failing to take into account the different calendars used in Ethiopia to that in the UK. Permission was also granted on the basis that the judge had made an error of law stating that the exercise of discretion outside the Rules was not a ground of appeal and also that the judge had failed to adequately assess the appeal on Article 8 terms.
3. The Secretary of State quite properly concedes that there was an error of law on all grounds as pleaded and I therefore find an error of law such that the determination of the First-tier Tribunal is set aside to be remade and remit the hearing to the First-tier Tribunal for a fresh hearing to be listed with an Oromo interpreter.
