ORDER PURSUANT TO RULE 39
1. The Appellant is a national of Ghana. She had applied for entry clearance pursuant to Paragraph 297 of the Immigration Rules to join her mother, Ms Serwaa Bonsu, here in the United Kingdom.
2. The matter had been listed before me for the remaking of the Appellant’s appeal following an Upper Tribunal Judge finding that the decision of the First-tier Tribunal had contained a material error of law.
3. A hearing took place before me on 30 June 2026. For various reasons it had been necessary for the matter to be adjourned part heard, including because the Appellant was minded to seek permission for oral evidence to be heard via remote means from Ghana.
4. The matter was listed for a further hearing before me on 16 September 2026.
5. The parties have now provided a consent order. The consent order explains:
(1) The Respondent withdraws her previous submission that the Appellant does not qualify for entry clearance pursuant to Paragraph EC-C1.1 of Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules;
(2) The Appellant and Respondent invite me to allow the appeal;
(3) The parties agree by consent that the Appellant be granted entry clearance; and
(4) There be no order as to costs
6. In view of the Respondent’s concession, properly made, I therefore allow the Appellant’s appeal against the Respondent’s decision to refuse entry clearance.
7. I also approve the parties’ agreed consent order.
8. The hearing listed on 16 September 2026 is vacated.
9. I make no order as to costs.
NOTICE OF DECISION
