BH v Secretary of State for The Home Department: Admn 17 Nov 2009

The claimant was subject to a non-derogating control order under the 2005 Act. A relaxation was sought to allow him to visit his solicitors. But was offered subject to conditions which included a requirement that he be subject to a personal search. The claimant said that the Act did not contain a power to require such a search. The defendant said that what was being asked for was merely a condition for agreement to the variation.
Held: Judicial review was refused because of the availablity of the appeal. The appeal failed. A search was a standard requirement for being provided with a police escort, and it was proper to require any visit to be escorted. The appeal failed.
