Asylum

R (on the application of Mahmud) v Upper Tribunal and another [2021] EWCA Civ 1004, [2021] All ER (D) 40 (Jul)

In the context of ‘Test of English for International Communication’ (TOEIC) litigation, the appellant’s appeal against a decision of the Administrative Court refusing him permission to apply for judicial review of a decision the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) (UT), refusing him permission to appeal against a decision of the First-tier Tribunal (FTT), would be dismissed. The Court of Appeal, Civil Division, held that, among other things, there was no arguable case, which had a reasonable prospect of success, of showing that the decision made by the UT had been wrong. TOEIC litigation was very fact-specific and the FTT had made a specific decision on the particular facts which could not sensibly be challenged.
