Please if you have won an appeal or been to court recently based on appeal, I will like to know how the arrangement is inside the court and how it normally work. As I will be going for my appeal with my mum and my two younger brothe by thursday.

There is all the information in the leaflet that arrives with the date of hearing. I suggest you read the leaflet.

Thanks for the reply, I just want the arrangement. I mean if is more accomodating and the judge are more open to each other.

Its not like what you might think of as a typical court environment. Its more like you are in an office for an interview.

For example, I two brother and my mum in the same case. Does that mean we are going to be interview seperately, or we are going to be in the same room together.

Sorry, i think you understood me wrong. I said its like in office interview kind of environment. I didnt mean to say that it is an interview. Its an hearing. If you all are in one case, then you all will go in together if you want to, or some of you could go. You can choose not to go at all. Or you could choose for a representative to appear for you.

I really appreciate your support. I will also like to know if the home office representative will be asking us question based on the appeal or the document we sent them will be enough.

I dont think they will ask you questions. They would have prepared their case well before the date. Their representative will be there to answer questions or clarifications from adjudicators. May I ask whats the background to your case? What kind of application did you make? why was it refused? on what grounds do you intend to challenge the refusal?

We were refuse based on the fact that my step dad was no excercising treaty right at the time the decree absolute was issued. Our appeal is base on the below rule of law. As me, my mum and my younger brother are excercising our treaty right based on the law giving below.

The first link below shows the Baumbast ruling i mentioned to you and the second shows the Home Office guidiance on what documents to provide, in order to secure it.

On the second link, please pay attention to section 5.4.13, 5.4.14 and 5.4.15 as that the area that allies to you case. It also state the requirements for such applications.


Also see the EEA regulations,

What applies in you case is Regulation 10 (3 & 4) and Regulation 15 (1F)

4real both your representative and HO officer can cross examine you if they want any clarification but all will base on the reason for refusal. Normally your solicitor will argue your case for your appeal to be allowed but may buttress his points by turning to you to answer some questions that will help his arguments.It all depends on how the arguement goes but your involvement will be minimal.Do not panic but take your time to answer any question being from your lawyer,HO officer or the judge.Good luck with your appeal.You can also go to the hearing centre and sit in the public gallery and listen to other peoples hearing,that will give you an indication of what to expect on your day.

I will like to understand you more trouble, does that mean there will some other people in the same court room for our hearing apart from our family. Secondly, I will like to know how long does the hearing normally take.

It is possible members of the public will be sitting in the public gallery.It is allowed for members of the public to hear such hearing but people do not have time for such hearing but in principle anyone can come and listen to your case.How long will depend on the case ,even the judge can post the hearing if there is not enough time.Relax bruv.

I really appreciate your quick reply to my question, and I hope to give you the feedback of the case after the hearing. Is it a really friendly environment, as in the judge and the HO are not too hard on appeallant.
