DECISION AND REMITTAL
1. On 20 September 2019 I wrote to the parties as follows:
"I have reviewed the file in this case.
Permission was granted by a lengthy decision amounting in effect to the expression of serious concerns that the judge insisted in proceeding with the hearing despite evidence of the possibility of representation being provided soon, and of the appellant's vulnerability. The appellant is in detention.
I propose to set the determination aside for error of law and direct rehearing by the First-tier Tribunal without more ado.
Any submissions to the contrary will be considered if received within 14 days of the date of this letter."
2. No response has been received.
3. I now set aside the decision of Judge Sullivan for error of law and direct that the appellant's appeal be determined afresh by the First-tier Tribunal.


C. M. G. OCKELTON
