UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE COKER
Between
ADEEL ANWAR
Appellant
And
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT
Respondent
Representation :
For the Appellant: Mr K Ahmed
For the Respondent: Ms Z Kiss
DETERMINATION AND REASONS
1. The appellant's appeal against the First-tier Tribunal decision that it did not have jurisdiction to determine his appeal against a decision of the respondent dated 18 th February 2017 refusing him a family permit must fail.
2. Although there were errors in the decision of the respondent, the respondent cannot grant a statutory right of appeal where one does not exist. The First-tier Tribunal and the Upper Tribunal are creatures of statute and cannot determine a statutory appeal where one does not exist.
3. In this case, the decision to refuse the appellant's application for a family permit was taken under the Immigration (European Economic Are) Regulations 2016; there is no right of appeal against such decisions.
4. There is no material error of law in the First-tier Tribunal decision.
Conclusions:
The making of the decision of the First-tier Tribunal did not involve the making of an error on a point of law.
I do not set aside the decision; the decision of the First-tier Tribunal stands.
Date 5 th October 2018
