“Eighteen months after the Serious Fraud Office abandoned the BAE inquiry, two high court judges yesterday ruled the decision unlawful in a judgment that was stinging in its criticism of both the SFO and the British government for caving in to pressure from Saudi Arabia. The legal action was brought by the anti-bribery pressure group Corner House Research and the Campaign Against Arms Trade. Here are edited extracts from the summary judgment published yesterday.”

McGrath and Others v Riddell and Another
House of Lords
“The fact that in a country of principal winding-up of a company in liquidation there would be a class of preferential creditors who would not have priority under English insolvency law was insufficient reason for an English court to refuse to exercise its discretion, under section 426 of the Insolvency Act 1986, to order remission of assets located in England to the country of principal winding-up.”

“In order to show strong grounds for believing that a foreign national if deported would face a real risk of being subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment in breach of art 3 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms it was necessary to produce evidence, not mere speculation, to establish that risk. That was a stringent test, requiring rigorous examination of the evidence.”
