The Court held that the decision was unlawful, on the basis that: (i) it gave rise to a disproportionate interference with the rights to freedom of expression and association under Articles 10 and 11 ECHR, and (ii) was made in breach of the Secretary of State’s policy.
Paul Luckhurst, Rayan Fakhoury and Grant Kynaston acted for the Claimant.
Sir James Eadie KC acted for the Defendant.
Tom Hickman KC acted for the Second and Third Interveners (Amnesty International UK and Liberty).
