Uzoechina v. Immigration Advisory Service [2003] UKEAT 0992_02_2010 (20 October 2003)

The appeal was dismissed because the issues permitted to proceed were either not properly raised before the Tribunal, were supported by unchallenged evidence, or lacked evidential basis. The costs appeal was dismissed as the Tribunal acted within its discretion in awarding costs for misconceived claims and unreasonable conduct, and no bias or procedural unfairness was established.
