After an application for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal is successful and permission to appeal has been granted either by the First Tier Tribunal or by the Upper Tribunal, the Upper Tribunal may rehear the appeal to decide whether or not there was a material error of law made by the Immigration Judge who determined the appeal at First Tier Tribunal.

Decisions Upper Tribunal Can Make

The Upper Tribunal has the power to rehear the appeal and determine the appeal themselves and either maintain the decision of the Immigration Judge or set aside the same and make a new decision. In some cases, the Upper Tribunal may remit the appeal back to the First Tier Tribunal after deciding that there was a material error of law in the appeal determination of the Immigration Judge.
