TN (Uganda), R (on the application of) v Secretary of State for the Home Department

The application for permission to appeal is granted because there is an arguable case that the Secretary of State's refusal to treat the new representations as a fresh claim under paragraph 353 was flawed, given the new evidence about the applicant's family circumstances and the impact on the original adjudicator's reasoning regarding internal relocation and family support.
