Supreme Court refuses to postpone effect of its asset-freezing decision
In an important follow-up judgment
Ahmed and others v HM Treasury (No.2)
[2010] UKSC 5, the Supreme Court today refused to grant HM Treasury any suspension of the quashing of the asset-freezing legislation which it struck down last week in
Ahmed and others v HM Treasury
[2010] UKSC 2.
Lord Phillips, the President of the Court, said that the “court should not lend itself to a procedure that is designed to obfuscate the effect of its judgment”. Lord Hope, the Deputy President, dissented and would have granted the suspension sought.
Raza Husain
represented the Appellants A, K and M and the Respondent HAY.
Alex Bailin
