First-tier Tribunal allows YV Enterprise's appeal against the Immigration Services Commissioner's cancellation of its registration under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

In a decision handed down on 14 September 2026, the First-tier Tribunal (General Regulatory Chamber) allowed an appeal by YV Enterprise Limited against the Immigration Services Commissioner's (the Commissioner) decision of 27 November 2025 to cancel YV Enterprise's registration under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 as authorised to provide immigration advice and immigration services. The Commissioner had cancelled YV Enterprise's registration on the basis that it was no longer fit to provide such services, relying on paragraph 4A(e) of Schedule 6 to the 1999 Act. The cancellation was due to take effect on 25 December 2025, but a Tribunal interim order suspended its effect pending the appeal following an expedited hearing on 5 January 2026. The substantive hearing took place at Field House, London on 29 and 30 June 2026, before Judge Saward, Judge Kiai, and Member Hoare. The Tribunal applied the approach confirmed by the Court of Appeal in Visa Joy Ltd v Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner [2017] EWCA Civ 1473: it considered all relevant admissible evidence, made its own findings of fact, and determined for itself whether the appellant was fit and competent to provide immigration advice and immigration services at the date of the hearing. The Tribunal found in favour of YV Enterprise, allowing the appeal. Rupert Bowers KC appeared for the appellant and Henry Skudra for the Commissioner.
