Consider this
So HMG is upset that the Supreme Court has found its 'alleged terrorist' freezing orders utlra vires and therefore asked the Court to suspend its quashing orders whilst it brings in correcting legislation so that the banks holding the money are put off from handing it back to the 'alleged threats' to national security.
And the Court says - 'how have we got the power to render lawful a bank's obedience to freezing orders which we have declared and which are unlawful. They are unlawful whether we quash them or not'.
And that's because of the rule of law - which seems to have escaped HMG in making this application?
And now see this
