UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE MACLEMAN
Between
K A DON MIRESH MICHAEL ASHINTHA PIERIS
Appellant
and
ENTRY CLEARANCE OFFICER, Sri Lanka
Respondent
For the Appellant: no legal representative; sponsor present
For the Respondent: Mr M Matthews, Senior Home Office Presenting Officer
No anonymity order requested or made
DETERMINATION AND REASONS
1. The appellant appeals against a determination by First-tier Tribunal Judge Doyle, dismissing his appeal against refusal of entry clearance.
2. Mr Matthews fairly and correctly acknowledged that the respondent and the judge had both gone wrong by considering this case under paragraph 301 of the Immigration Rules. The correctly applicable provision is paragraph 297. The facts of the case met the requirements of paragraph 297 (i) (a). (Alternatively, if the sponsor’s wife was not treated as the appellant’s parent, the requirements of paragraph 297 (i) (d) were met.)
3. The determination of the First-tier Tribunal is set aside. The appeal, as originally brought to the First-tier Tribunal, is allowed.
