Regina (Nour) v Secretary of State for Defence – WLR Daily

Regina (Nour) v Secretary of State for Defence [2015] EWHC 2543 (Admin); [2015] WLR (D) 392

‘An assessment made by the Secretary of State for Defence under the Government’s Overseas Security and Justice Assistance Guidance was justiciable and subject to the courts’ power of review, save with regard to the assessment of political or reputational risk involved in such assistance. The court would not interfere with an assessment or its conclusion unless satisfied that they were irrational in the Wednesbury sense and ones that no reasonable decision-maker could have made.’
