The claimants challenged the right of the respondent, purporting to us the royal prerogative, to withdraw their passports on being suspect of terrorist links.
Held: The claims were dismissed. The use of the Royal Preogative was long established, and ‘we are in no doubt that it is not to be implied that Parliament intended to abrogate the Royal Prerogative power in relation to terrorism related activities when it enacted the TPIM Act.’
