Upper Tribunal decisions
The Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) hears appeals in immigration and asylum cases. In published decisions from 2023 to 2026, this firm is named as representative in 34 cases.
- 2 — in the claimant’s favour
- 9 — in the Home Office’s favour
- 15 — sent back for rehearing / mixed outcome
- 8 — outcome not determined
The number of cases shows experience, not quality: strong firms often take the hardest cases. That is why we do not publish a “win rate” — that figure would mislead.
