APPELLANT
RESPONDENT
Representation
For the appellant: Mr R O'Ryan (counsel instructed by Newcastle Law Centre)
For the respondent: Miss N Hough
This is an appeal by the Home Office against the decision of an adjudicator, Mrs N Bircher, sitting at North Shields on 24 April 2003, allowing an appeal by a citizen of the Democratic Republic of Congo against the grant of only limited leave to remain in this country.
In cross-examination she produced a letter which confirmed that she was a member of the UDPS.
Clearly that was the first time this document had been seen by either the adjudicator or the presenting officer. The grounds of appeal cite objections made by the presenting officer to its production at that point and Mr O'Ryan, who appeared for the claimant at the hearing before the adjudicator as he has done before us, helpfully agreed that objections had been made.
The Secretary of State noted that the appellant has not provided any evidence that the appellant has taken a prominent role as section President UDPS. I find that the appellant has subsequently produced a certificate from the UDPS confirming that she held the post of President of the Women's Movement within the Party.
