R (on the application of FT) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (‘rolling review’; challenging leave granted) [2017] UKUT 331 (IAC), [2017] All ER (D) 53 (Aug)

In determining the duration of leave granted to the claimant Chinese national, a recognised victim of trafficking, the defendant Secretary of State had failed to consider material considerations, including her own mishandling of his case, the full circumstances surrounding the discontinuance of the claimant’s therapy and the medical evidence. Accordingly, the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) allowed his application for judicial review.
