NLJ this week: Proscription appeal upheld

The Court of Appeal was entitled to uphold the government's decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, according to an analysis of the ruling

Writing in NLJ this week, Nicholas Dobson explains the court found the home secretary acted lawfully in balancing national security against rights to freedom of expression and assembly.

It rejected the Divisional Court's conclusion that the decision was disproportionate, finding the proscription policy did not constrain ministerial discretion. The judgment held the organisation's activities extended beyond peaceful protest and that the operational benefits of proscription justified the interference with Convention rights.
