The appellant regularly travelled between the UK and Sudan. The officials asked the Secretary of State to decide in principle to deprive him of his nationality the next time he was in Sudan and exclude him from the UK, in order to mitigate the risk of the appellant establishing himself in the UK to conduct terrorism-related activities. The Secretary of State made such a decision and a little later the appellant went to Sudan and the Secretary of State made a deprivation decision. The decision was challenged on the basis that it was made in bad faith in order to ensure an appeal could only be out of country and therefore more difficult.
Held: The Secretary of State was not prevented by the legislative scheme from taking steps which hampered the exercise of a right of an in-country appeal if that would or might damage national security.
