  • High Court Judgment Template
    Appeal No: SC/116/2012 Hearing Date: 13 and 14 February 2014 Date of Judgment: 15 April 2014 SPECIAL IMMIGRATION APPEALS COMMISSION Before: THE HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE IRWIN “D2” APPELLANT and SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT RESPONDENT JUDGMENT ON PRELIMINARY ISSUE: DISCLOSURE For the Appellant: Mr H Southey QC and Mr Edward Grieves Instructed by: Wilson Solicitors LLP For the Respondent: Mr Tim Eicke QC and Mr Robert Wastell Instructed by: The Treasury Solicitor Mr Justice Irwin : 1. In this judgment I address a preliminary issue in the appeal, namely what is required as a minimum by way of disclosure in these proceedings. The Appellant seeks to establish, by one or both of two discrete legal routes, that there is an obligation imposed on the Respondent to disclose “an irreducible minimum” of the national security case against the Appellant. Mr Hugh Southey QC for the Appellant argues firstly that by reason of developing jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, the decisions of the English Court of Appeal in IR(Sri Lanka) and others v SSHD [2012] 1 WLR 232 and R(BB) v SIAC and SSHD [2013] 1 WLR 1568 are wrongly decided. As a further argument, Mr Southey submits that the decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union in ZZ(France) v SSHD [2013] 3 WLR 813 (Case C – 300/11) and the Court of Appeal in ZZ v SSHD [2014] EWCA Civ 7 have the effect of importing an obligation of an “irreducible minimum” of disclosure of the national security case, effectively the same as that which has been held to arise where the facts of a case engage the prohibition on arbitrary detention contrary to Article 5(4) of the ECHR, as decided by the Strasbourg Court in A v United Kingdom (2009) 49 EHRR 29 and confirmed by the House of Lords in AF(No.3) v SSHD [2010] 2 AC 269.

  • Diploma in Professional Legal Practice (DPLP)
    www.planitplus.net Diploma in Professional Legal Practice (DPLP) University of Dundee Venues City Campus Content The Diploma in Professional Legal Practice is a postgraduate, vocational qualification which must be obtained by students who wish to pursue a career in the legal profession in Scotland, either as a solicitor or advocate. We aim to give you confidence that when you leave Dundee Law School, you will be professionally trained to cope with real situations that you will encounter in practice. The DPLP at Dundee Law School runs over two semesters, from September to April. Primarily delivered by practising solicitors, the programme acts as a bridge between the academic study of law and the requirements of legal practice. The emphasis is therefore on equipping students with the practical knowledge and skills required for practice, as well as introducing the values and ethics of the legal profession in Scotland. Start Date September Qualification Postgraduate Diploma Study Method Part time (day) Course Length 9 months Department School of Social Sciences Entry Requirements You should have, or expect to have LLB in Scots Law to include all subjects required by the Law Society of Scotland. Entry to the programme is restricted to approximately 80 places determined by the academic merit of applicants. The main criterion for academic merit is the average mark obtained at first sitting in the subjects required by the Law Society of Scotland.
