Regina (Barclay and another) v Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice and others (No 2) (Attorney General of Jersey and another intervening) [2014] UKSC 54; [2014] WLR (D) 446

‘Although the courts of the United Kingdom had jurisdiction judicially to review an Order in Council made on the advice of the Government of the United Kingdom acting in whole or in part in the interests of the United Kingdom, there were circumstances in which the court should nevertheless decline to entertain a claim for judicial review. The Queen’s Bench Divisional Court ought to have declined to entertain a human rights-compatibility challenge to legislation enacted in respect of the Island of Sark— a Crown dependency which was part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey but not of the United Kingdom— since it ought properly to have been brought before the bailiwick courts for determination under the island’s own human rights legislation.’

“The Terrorism (United Nations Measures) Order 2006 was lawful and validly made under s 1 of the United Nations Act 1946 provided certain words were severed from art 4(2) so that it required the Treasury to show that it had reasonable grounds for suspecting that the person designated was involved in committing or facilitating terrorism and not merely might be such a person. The Al-Qaida and Taliban (United Nations Measures) Order 2006 was also valid and lawful so long as the designated individual was entitled to a merits based review of his case.”
