Hottak and Another, Regina (on The Application of) v The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs and Another: CA 9 May 2016

Appeal against refusal of judicial review of decision not to provide protection of Afghan nationals who had assisted armed forces as transalators. A declaration had been granted but the decision had not been quashed.
Held: The appeal failed. The Divisional Court’s decision to do no more than grant declaratory relief was an exercise of the court’s discretion which could not be faulted. Section 39(2) of the 2010 Act could not be extended in its ambit to cover the employment of the claimants.
