Immigration – Leave to remain. The claimant Gambian national sought judicial review of the defendant Secretary of State's decision that she had not met the requirements of para 284 of the Immigration Rules and that she had not qualified under Appendix FM to the Immigration Rules. The Administrative Court, in dismissing the application, held that there had been no error as to para 284 of the Immigration Rules. Further, despite the Secretary of State's error in having assessed the matter by reference to Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules, when that provision had not applied to the claimant's application, no injustice had been caused.
