The King on the application of T J Trading Express Ltd (Respondent) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Appellant)
Tuesday 20 October 2026
The Appellant appeals the decision Mrs Justice Hill DBE dated 22 May 2025, granting the claim for judicial review and quashing the revocation decision of 6 March 2024.
The Home Department made a decision to revoke a sponsorship licence of TJ Trading, a business trading as a petrol station. The director was the Level 1 user of the Sponsor Management System, and issued a Certificate of Sponsorship to his brother-in-law for the position of Petrol Station Manager. The relationship was not declared in the application. The Appellant became aware of this and revoked the licence without notice. The issue raised was whether this was procedurally unfair. The Judge found that the Appellant had acted in a procedurally unfair manner.
