Control Order Hearings: Compliance With Article 6 Echr

摘要

AF, AM, AN and AE were subject to non-derogating control orders pursuant to s. 2(1) of the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005. Control orders are preventative orders that require specified individuals to comply with obligations imposed for purposes connected with protecting members of the public from a risk of terrorism. Under s. 2 (1), the Home Secretary has the power to impose a non-derogating control order where she has reasonable grounds for suspecting that an individual is or has been involved in terrorism-related activity and where she considers it necessary, for purposes connected with protecting members of the public from a risk of terrorism, to make a control order imposing obligations on an individual. The High Court will determine whether the concept of reasonable suspicion is satisfied in a hearing pursuant to s. 3(10) of the 2005 Act.
