Case law/question

All,

Following a successfull appeal on a FLR for a Tier 2 general (transitional arrangement), my friend has discovered that the HO has swiftly corrected their mistake on their most recently published guidance/NOC publication grouping.

The story in brief.........

My friend names X applied for FLR under transitional arrangement with a job classed as a Shortage occupation but grouped wrongly in the NOC as 2113 instead of 2121 (Civil Engineers). This then meant that the expected minimum salary was way too high that suposed(£30,000 vs £23,000), hence his application was refused.

An appeal was lodged and was succesfully defended and a post guidance published after the appeal indicated that the job title was moved to its original group-2121.

My question is this....can he make claims for finacial damages due to mistakes made by the UKBA.
