(1) J’s Supermarket Ltd (Appellant/Claimant) v SSHD (Respondent/Defendant) (2) Prestige Social Care Services Ltd (Appellant/Claimant) v SSHD (Respondent/Defendant)
Tuesday 16 June 2026
(1) Issue: revocation of sponsor licence upheld
The revocation was based on findings that two sponsored roles were not genuine and that J’s Supermarket Ltd had committed multiple breaches of sponsor duties.
The judge held that there was a clear mismatch between the roles described and duties performed. Complaints about missing job descriptions and a misunderstanding about recruitment interviews were accepted as errors but not material, while the absence of pension opt‑out evidence supported a broader pattern of non‑compliance.
(2) This judicial review challenges the Home Office’s revocation of the claimant’s sponsorship licence on 15 October 2024.
Although the Court found one finding of “non‑genuine vacancies” to be irrational, it upheld the revocation due to wider systemic breaches of sponsor duties. The Court refused relief on the basis the outcome would have been the same, dismissed the claim, refused permission to appeal, and awarded costs to the Home Office subject to a 15% reduction.
