JL (appellant) v Secretary of State for The Home Department (respondent) (external link)

Appeal against the decision of the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber promulgated on 24 October 2023..

The appellant is a citizen of Democratic Republic of Congo. He arrived in the UK as an unaccompanied minor in 2010 and claimed asylum which was refused but he was granted discretionary leave until 2012. Attempts to trace his father in the DRC were unsuccessful leading to his being granted refugee status with leave to remain on 19 May 2012 valid to 14 May 2017.

The appellant was convicted to a custodial sentence in 2018. He then came to the attention of the respondent who then decided to revoke the refugee status and refused his human rights claim. The appellant appealed this decision in the First Tier Tribunal which was allowed.

The respondent appealed against this decision which was granted.

At the re-hearing the UT found that the deportation of the appellant would not be ‘unduly’ harsh given the seriousness of the conviction and the appeal was dismissed.
