Question
The coursework question is in three parts. You must ensure you address all three parts.
‘The Secretary of State must be free to give full weight to foreign policy considerations, which are not justiciable. However, that does not mean the whole process is immune from judicial scrutiny.
’ per Lord Phillips, R (on the application of Abbasi) & Another v Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs & Secretary of State for the Home Department [2002] EWCA Civ 1598, at para 99
