Youssef v Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs [2016] UKSC 3, [2016] All ER (D) 209 (Jan)

The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant’s appeal in respect of a decision made by the respondent secretary of state in September 2005, in his capacity as a member of the United Nations Security Council Sanctions Committee, which removed the hold the UK had previously placed on the appellant’s designation by the Sanctions Committee. The court ruled on, among other things, issues concerning the tests to be applied in judging the legality of the decision and their consequences under domestic law.
