Immigration

BG (Jamaica) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2015] EWCA Civ 960, [2015] All ER (D) 380 (Jul)

The respondent’s application for an extension of leave to remain in the UK had been refused, but his successful appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) had been upheld by the Upper Tribunal. The Court of Appeal allowed the secretary of state’s appeal as, on the facts, the respondent had not satisfied para 276ADE(v) of the Immigration Rules because, being aged 25 at the time of his application, he had not been “under 25 years”.
