“In statutory appeals to the Court of Appeal from the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber), if the appeal had been allowed by consent, with the appellant obtaining the remittal sought, or if the appeal had been resolved by the grant of a status which was not previously offered, then provided the appellant was clearly identifiable as the successful party, CPR r 44.3(2(a) would usually entitle him to his costs absent specific matters of conduct or other features making an order inappropriate. The crucial question in such cases was the identification of the successful party.”
