Before

 

UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE LINDSLEY

 

 

Between

 

OLAWALE ADEDIPE

(ANONYMITY ORDER NOT MADE)

Appellant

and

 

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT

Respondent

 

 

DECISION AND REASONS

1.              The appellant is a citizen of Nigeria born on 29 ^th December 1969. He applied to remain in the UK as the extended family member (durable partner) of Ms Niatta Tucker, a Norwegian national exercising EEA rights in the UK. His appeal against the decision was dismissed for want of jurisdiction by First-tier Tribunal Judge Rothwell in a determination promulgated on the 13 ^th July 2017.

2.              Permission to appeal was granted by Judge of the First-tier Tribunal Foudy on the basis that it was arguable that the First-tier judge had erred in law in deciding that there was no jurisdiction to hear the appeal in light of the decision in Khan v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2017] EWCA Civ 1755.

3.              I issued a direction on 3 ^rd January 2018 stating that an error of law would be found, and the matter remitted to the First-tier Tribunal if no objections were sent within 7 days. The direction was sent out on 4 ^th January 2018 by first class post to both parties. No objections have been received and so I make the decision set out below.

 

Decision:

 

1.              The making of the decision of the First-tier Tribunal involved the making of an error on a point of law.

 

2.              I set aside the decision of the First-tier Tribunal that there was no jurisdiction to hear this appeal.

 

3.              I remit the appeal to the First-tier Tribunal for remaking.
