Upper Tribunal decisions
The Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) hears appeals in immigration and asylum cases. In published decisions from 2024, this firm is named as representative in 2 cases.
- 1 — sent back for rehearing / mixed outcome
- 1 — 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 That is why we do not publish a “win rate” — that figure would mislead.
