Passport

R (on the application of XH and another) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2016] EWHC 1898 (Admin), [2016] All ER (D) 166 (Jul)

The Divisional Court dismissed the claimants’ applications for judicial review of the defendant Secretary of State’s cancellation of their passports under the Royal Prerogative on the basis that they were persons suspected of involvement in terrorism-related activities. Its reasons included that it was not to be implied that Parliament had intended to abrogate the Royal Prerogative power in relation to terrorism-related activities when it had enacted the Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Act 2011.
