United Kingdom: Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber)

The Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber (UTIAC) is a superior court of record and forms part of the Tribunals Service, an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice. Its purpose is to hear and decide appeals against decisions made by the First-tier Tribunal in matters of immigration, asylum and nationality. Appeals are heard by one or more Senior or Designated Immigration Judges who are sometimes accompanied by non legal members of the Tribunal. Immigration Judges and non legal members are appointed by the Lord Chancellor and together they form an independent judicial body. The former Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (AIT) was superseded by the implementation of the UTIAC in February 2010. Website: www.tribunals.gov.uk/immigrationasylum/utiac/index.htm

Jaff (s.120 notice; statement of "additional grounds") [2012] UKUT 00396

(i) In the absence of a s.120 notice and a statement of "additional grounds", an appellant could not rely on the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 before the First-tier Tribunal as that had not formed part of his application for leave to remain made to the Secretary of State: Lamichhane v SSHD [2012] EWCA Civ 260 applied. (ii) A statement of "additional grounds" may be made in response to a s.120 notice at any time, including up to (and perhaps at the time of) the hearing of the appeal. (iii) Although the legislative scheme prescribes no particular form in which a statement of "additional grounds" must be made, such a statement must as a minimum set out with some level of particularity the ground(s) relied upon by the appellant as the foundation for remaining in the UK and upon which reliance has not previously been placed. It must "state" the additional ground to be relied on in substance or, at least, in form.
