Regina v Secretary of State for the Home Department, Ex Parte Al-Fayed: QBD 16 Nov 1999

When considering whether the Human Rights of a citizen had been infringed, the doctrine of proportionality was not to be extended to extend in turn such rights. At present the doctrine is part of European law, but not part of domestic English administrative law, and could not be called in aid to support an application for nationality.
