(ANONYMITY DIRECTION NOT MADE)
Appellant

and

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT
Respondent


Representation:

For the Appellant: Miss C Wilson-Brown
For the Respondent: Ms R Pettersen


DECISION AND REASONS

1. This is the appellant's appeal against the decision of Judge Cox made following a hearing at Bradford on 6th April 2017.
2. The appellant is a national of Libya born on 12th April 1993. He claimed asylum in the UK on 2nd December 2014 and was refused. His appeal against that decision was dismissed by Judge Cox and there is no challenge against that decision. However the appellant argued that he was at risk on return because of general conditions in Libya.
3. On 23rd August 2017 Designated Judge Woodcraft granted permission on the grounds that the Upper Tribunal has, since Judge Cox's decision was promulgated, issued country guidance on Libya, namely ZMM (Article 15(c)) Libya CG [2017] UKUT 00263 which demonstrates that there is a risk to life contrary to Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive anywhere in Libya.
4. Prior to the hearing Ms Pettersen wrote to the Tribunal inviting me to remake the decision allowing the case under humanitarian protection in line with country guidance case law, but upholding the Refugee Convention issue as decided by the FtT Judge.
5. Miss Wilson-Brown confirmed that she was content with Ms Pettersen's proposal.
Notice of Decision
6. The original judge did not err in law so far as the asylum claim was concerned, and his decision stands. So far as the humanitarian protection claim is concerned, his decision is set aside and remade as follows. The appeal is allowed with respect to the Qualification Directive.

No anonymity direction is made.
