Quick post to flag up a piece over on the HJT Training blog which may be of interest to Free Movement readers. It concerns a case where the High Court deals with the effect of a tribunal determination on those who were not parties to the case. In short, the effect is: non-existent. A finding on the age of an appellant in a tribunal determination cannot bind other parties, such as social services departments. Country Guideline cases have effectively been granted a special exemption by the Court of Appeal from this general rule, but other cases where the tribunal attempts to reach a universally binding determination, such as the Cambridge College of Learning test case, have not received any such approval.

They’ll just have to star NA then.
To be honest, even if not binding, findings in a detailed decision like NA are going to be highly persuasive and few IJs beyond the barking mad ones are likely to give a CCOL student the benefit of the ‘doubt’.
Do you seriously believe that anyone who claimed to study PgDips in IT or Business are genuine?
I had another one in court today, who openly admitted that even those who did turn up to classes, just sat there because there was no-one to teach the non-existant course.
