Success for George Mavrantonis in the Upper Tribunal. UTJ Norton-Taylor dismisses the Secretary of State’s appeal challenging FtTJ Watson’s decision who had allowed the first instance appeal for George’s 19-year-old client on exceptional circumstances, within a wider Article 8 ECHR assessment.
KO (Nigeria) [2018] UKSC 53 applied and Miah (section 117B NIAA 2002 – children) [2016] UKUT 131 distinguished. George successfully appeared for the claimant at both levels with Soneela Raheel of Farani Taylor Solicitors instructing.
