The claimant sought judicial review of the defendant Secretary of State's failure to grant him leave as a Tier 4 (General) student migrant, after his appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) (the FTT) against a prior decision had been allowed.

Her further grant of 60 days' discretionary leave outside the Immigration Rules on an exceptional basis added weight to the view that the Secretary of State had acted reasonably.
