THE IMMIGRATION ACTS

Decision & Reasons Issued:
On 13 January 2026

Before

UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE PERKINS

Between

E M
(Anonymity order made)
Appellant
and

Secretary of State for the Home Department
Respondent

Done at Field House on 13 January 2026

DECISION AND REASONS

1. This appeal was determined without a hearing, and with regard to the views of the respondent expressed in a Rule 24 Notice and an e-mail from the appellant’s representatives, both dated 12 January 2026, pursuant to rule 34 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008.
2. The appellant was given permission to appeal because it was arguable that the Judge had not considered properly all of the evidence, particularly that relating to effective protection and internal relocation.
3. In the circumstances I find that the First-tier Tribunal erred in law. I set aside its decision and I direct that the appeal be determined again in the First-tier Tribunal.

Notice of Decision

4. The appeal is allowed. The decision of the First-tier Tribunal is set aside and the appeal will be determined again in the First-tier Tribunal.
