Heard at Field House on 17 December 2025

Order Regarding Anonymity

Pursuant to rule 14 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008, the appellant is granted anonymity.

No-one shall publish or reveal any information, including the name or address of the appellant, likely to lead members of the public to identify the appellant. Failure to comply with this order could amount to a contempt of court.

DECISION AND REASONS
1. The appellant is a national of Vietnam who seeks protection in the United Kingdom. The respondent refused her protection claim on 13 November 2023. By these proceedings the appellant seeks to appeal the determination of First-Tier Tribunal Judge Young-Harry by which she dismissed the appellant’s appeal against that refusal.
2. Permission to appeal was granted by First-tier Tribunal Judge Dhanji. In a Rule 24 response dated 3 October 2025 the respondent conceded that the FTT determination contained a material error of law and that the matter should be remitted for a full rehearing. Following correspondence between the Tribunal and the parties, in which they confirmed that they agreed that the appeal should be allowed and that the matter should be remitted for a fresh hearing, I agreed to vacate the hearing.
3. The basis of the respondent’s concession was as follows:
“…the Respondent accepts that the judge of the First-tier Tribunal erred by failing to sufficiently engage with and not attaching weight to the evidence given by Dr Tran when deciding the issues of the Appellant’s risk of being re-trafficked, the availability of sufficiency of protection and the option for internal relocation.”
4. The respondent’s concession corresponds to the appellant’s Ground 4, which was also the basis on which FTTJ Dhanji granted permission to appeal.
5. I agree with the parties that this ground discloses a material error of law and that the matter should be remitted to the First-tier Tribunal with no findings preserved. In the circumstances I need not address the other grounds.
Notice of Decision
The determination of First-tier Tribunal Judge Young-Harry dated 30 July 2025 did involve the making of a material error of law. It is set aside. The matter is remitted to the First-tier Tribunal for a full rehearing with no findings preserved.
