Upper Tribunal decisions

The Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) hears appeals in immigration and asylum cases. In published decisions from 2024 to 2025, this firm is named as representative in 6 cases.

  • 2 — in the claimant’s favour
  • 3 — in the Home Office’s favour
  • 1 — sent back for rehearing / mixed outcome

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 That is why we do not publish a “win rate” — that figure would mislead.
