CF v The Ministry of Defence and Others: QBD 14 Oct 2014

The issue considered was whether, following the declaration under Section 6 of the 2013 Act permitting a closed material procedure, Article 6 of the ECHR requires further details of the Defendants’ case to be provided, by any further disclosure, summary or gist. It was common ground that civil proceedings of this kind do engage Article 6: the question is one of compliance.
