The Upper Tribunal Pt 2: Reopening Findings

Posted by Mark Symes on 14 May 2010

Can an Immigration Judge in the Upper Tribunal revisit the findings of the Tribunal that transferred the matter to him - to use the language of the last era of the Tribunal, in what circumstances would it be proper to go behind the “pink form” expressing the reasons for the case moving from first to second stage reconsideration ? Nothing in the language of the Rules or legislation suggests that the findings as to error of law are any more fragile than was hitherto the case. It is not obvious that the fact the appeals system now comprises two tiers reduces the judicial comity to be afforded earlier decision making. And the Practice Directions state otherwise, making it clear that the written reasons can be departed from or varied by the Tribunal which makes the final decision only in very exceptional cases; (See Practice Direction para 3.7).
