An asylum seeker awaiting the determination of an appeal who left the UK, was to be deemed by the Act to have abandoned the appeal. There was no part of the wording which allowed the court to differentiate between several classes of applicant. Since the Secretary could conclude that an appeal had been abandoned for any reason, the words could only mean that leaving the UK was determinative of abandonment.
