The UK First-tier Tribunal held that administrative failings at Liverpool immigration advice firm YV Enterprise did not justify the Immigration Advice Authority’s cancellation of its registration, Legal Futures reported on September 23, 2026. The tribunal found serious record-keeping and client-care deficiencies but rejected findings of dishonesty, fabrication, or instructing clients to conceal the firm from the Home Office, and said cancellation would be disproportionate. The decision is [2026] UKFTT 1305 (GRC), dated September 14.
