Immigration – Leave to appeal – Judicial review. Court of Session: Refusing a judicial review petition by a Zimbabwean national, whose appeal against the refusal of his application to have a deportation order revoked was dismissed by the First Tier Tribunal, and who sought reduction of the Upper Tribunal's decision refusing him permission to appeal, the court rejected arguments that there had been a collapse of fair procedure and that the consequences for the petitioner if he was returned to Zimbabwe would be drastic, and held that the test in Eba v Advocate General for Scotland was not satisfied.
