Secretary of State for the Home Department v AL: Admn 17 Aug 2007

The claimant sought to challenge a control order made against him under the 2005 Act. He had not cross examined the prosecution witnesses saying that the procedure was unfair in that he had not been allowed to see all the evidence against him. He said that the evidence did not justify the finding of reasonable grounds for suspecting his involvement in terrorism.
Held: The evidence shown to the claimant was not on its own sufficient to justify a reasonable suspicion, but one was justified when this was combined with the closed evidence. The restrictions were justified and not disproportionate.
