Home Secretary’s control orders made unlawfully
Secretary of State for the Home Department v JJ and Others
House of Lords
“Non-derogating control orders made by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which imposed on the controlled persons an 18-hour curfew and closely restricted their social contacts, amounted to a deprivation of liberty, contrary to article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights, and were accordingly unlawful.”
