Tom Wilding secures appeal to Court of Appeal on key interpretation of ‘Durable Partner’ in immigration rules

Tom Wilding

Tom Wilding has been granted permission to appeal to the Court of Appeal from the Upper Tribunal in an appeal which will look at the meaning of (aaa) in the definition of Durable Partner in Appendix EU of the Immigration rules. In doing so the Court of Appeal will look for the first time at the pre-April 2023 rules and the meaning of (aaa). This will also allow the Court to consider whether the UT was correct on this point in Hani v Secretary of State for the Home Department Hani (EUSS durable partners: para. (aaa)) [2024] UKUT 68 (IAC).

Tom is instructed by Alyssia Jones of AJ Jones Solicitors.
