MN (Appellant) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Respondent)

Tuesday 10 March 2026

The Appellants appeals the Upper Tribunal’s (UT) decision of 17 December 2024, which dismissed the appeal against the First‑tier Tribunal’s (FTT) rejection of the Appellant’s asylum and protection claim.

The Appellant, a Vietnamese national, entered the UK lawfully on a business visa in 2014 but overstayed after it expired, later claiming asylum in April 2018. Although granted discretionary leave to remain until June 2024, he now claims he fears return because he was trafficked and risks being re‑trafficked.

The FTT accepted aspects of his account but held that he faced no ongoing risk. The Upper Tribunal upheld the FTT’s decision.
