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.’

‘The Insurance Act 2015, which does not come into force until August 2016, changes the way in which insurance is conducted. The delay in commencement of the Act is intended, at least in part, to give insurers time to change their policy wording and procedures. It is likely that some of the new policy wordings and procedures will give rise to disputes and in the context of construction insurance in particular, there are likely to be issues relating to the concept of fair presentation of risk that is introduced by the Act.’
