Strategic issue

What was at stake

The case reviews the withdrawal of an EU‑related concession for an Albanian national.

Key holding

What the court decided

In the Appendix EU definition of "person with a derivative right to reside", category (a) does not exclude those who held another form of leave to remain, and the EU11/EU14 eligibility conditions must be met at the date of application and by the required date. The Tribunal set out eight non-exhaustive factors for deciding whether a party may withdraw a concession, the touchstone being "good reasons" inseparable from the overall interests of justice and fairness, with a wholesale concession that disposed of an entire appeal (made at a substantive hearing by a specialist advocate after full evidence) carrying significant weight against withdrawal. Applying this, the Upper Tribunal refused to let the Secretary of State resile from the concession and held the First-tier Tribunal's decision allowing MH's EUSS derivative-rights appeal did not involve an error of law.
