Secretary of State for the Home Department | RESPONDENT |
It is most unwise for a judge to conduct post-hearing research, on the internet or otherwise, into the factual issues which have to be decided in a case. To derive evidence from post-hearing research on the internet and to base conclusions on that evidence without giving the parties the opportunity to comment on it is wrong.

"57. The requirements to be met by a person seeking leave to enter the United Kingdom as a student are that he…
(vi) is able to meet the costs of his course and accommodation and the maintenance of himself and any dependants without taking employment or engaging in business or having recourse to public funds."
Both the entry clearance officer and the immigration judge concluded that the appellant did not satisfy this requirement. We agree for the reasons fully set out in the otherwise comprehensive and clear decision of the immigration judge.
