Application

1 This Schedule applies if the Secretary of State—

(a) makes the relevant decisions in relation to an individual, and

Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures BillPage 24

(b) imposes measures on the individual.

Statement of urgency

2 The TPIM notice must include a statement that the Secretary of State
reasonably considers that the urgency of the case requires measures to be
5imposed without obtaining the permission of the court under section 6.

Reference to court

3 (1) Immediately after serving the TPIM notice, the Secretary of State must refer
to the court the imposition of the measures on the individual.

(2) The function of the court on the reference is to consider whether the relevant
10decisions of the Secretary of State were obviously flawed.

(3) The court’s consideration of the reference must begin within the period of 7
days beginning with the day on which the TPIM notice is served on the
individual.

(4) The court may consider the reference—

(a) 15in the absence of the individual;

(b) without the individual having been notified of the reference; and

(c) without the individual having been given an opportunity (if the
individual was aware of the reference) of making any
representations to the court.

(5) 20But that does not limit the matters about which rules of court may be made.

Decision by court

4 (1) In a case where the court determines that a decision of the Secretary of State
that condition A, condition B or condition C is met is obviously flawed, the
court must quash the TPIM notice.

(2) 25In a case where the court determines that a decision of the Secretary of State
that condition D is met is obviously flawed, the court must quash those of
the measures which it determines that decision relates to.

(3) If sub-paragraph (1) does not apply, the court must confirm the TPIM notice
(subject to any quashing of measures under sub-paragraph (2)).

(4) 30If the court determines that the Secretary of State’s decision that the urgency
condition is met is obviously flawed, the court must make a declaration of
that determination (whether it quashes or confirms the TPIM notice under
the preceding provisions of this paragraph).

Procedures on reference

5 (1) 35In determining a reference under paragraph 3, the court must apply the
principles applicable on an application for judicial review.

(2) The court must ensure that the individual is notified of the court’s decision
on a reference under paragraph 3.

Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures BillPage 25

Interpretation

6 (1) References in this Schedule to the urgency condition being met are
references to condition E being met by virtue of section 3(5)(b) (urgency of
the case requires measures to be imposed without obtaining the permission
5of the court).

(2) In this Schedule “relevant decisions” means the decisions that the following
conditions are met—

(a) condition A;

(b) condition B;

(c) 10condition C;

(d) condition D;

(e) the urgency condition.

further possibility of an appeal against—

decision of the kind mentioned in sub-paragraph (1), any power to extend
the time for giving notice of application for leave to appeal, or for applying
for leave to appeal, must be ignored.

4 (1) On an appeal under this Schedule to any court, that court must allow the
