(3)    

Condition A is that the Secretary of State reasonably suspects that the specified

Kingdom.

 

(4)    

Condition B is that the Secretary of State reasonably considers that it is necessary,

 

for purposes connected with protecting members of the public in the United

 

Kingdom from a risk of terrorism, for a notification and managed return order to

 

be imposed on a carrier in relation to a specified individual.

 

(5)    

Condition C is that the Secretary of State reasonably considers that the specified

 

individual is outside the United Kingdom.

 

(6)    

Condition D is that the specified individual has the right of abode in the United

notice that the specified individual may be stopped, questioned and detained on

specified individual—

 

(a)    

returning to the United Kingdom, or

 

(b)    

departing from the United Kingdom.

 

(8)    

The imposition of a notification and managed return order does not prevent a

 

further notification and managed return order from being imposed on a carrier in

 

relation to the same specified individual (including in a case where an order

 

ceases to be in force at the expiry of its two year duration).

 

(9)    

The imposition of a notification and managed return order does not prevent a

individual.”

(1)    

Condition A is that the Secretary of State reasonably suspects that the individual

Kingdom from a risk of terrorism, for a temporary exclusion order to be imposed

 

on the individual.

 

(3)

(5)

requires a temporary exclusion order to be imposed without obtaining

 

such permission.

 

(6)    

During the period that a temporary exclusion order is in force, the Secretary of

 

State must keep under review whether condition B is met.”

NC11

 

To move the following Clause

 

         

“Prior permission of the court

 

(1)    

This section applies if the Secretary of State—

 

(a)    

makes the relevant decisions in relation to an individual, and

 

(b)    

makes an application to the court for permission to impose measures on

 

the individual.

 

(2)    

The application must set out a draft of the proposed TEO notice.

 

(3)    

The function of the court on the application is—

 

(a)    

to determine whether the relevant decisions of the Secretary of State are

 

obviously flawed, and

 

(b)    

to determine whether to give permission to impose measures on the

 

individual and (where applicable) whether to exercise the power of

 

direction under subsection (9).

 

(4)    

The court may consider the application—

 

(a)    

in the absence of the individual;

 

(b)    

without the individual having been notified of the application; and

 

(c)    

without the individual having been given an opportunity (if the individual

 

was aware of the application) of making any representations to the court.

 

(5)    

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

 

(6)    

In determining the application, the court must apply the principles applicable on

 

an application for judicial review.

 

(7)    

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 may

 

not give permission under this section.

 

(8)    

In any other case, the court may give permission under this section.

 

(9)    

If the court determines that the Secretary of State‘s decision that condition D is

 

met is obviously flawed, the court may (in addition to giving permission under

 

subsection (8) give directions to the Secretary of State in relation to the measures

 

to be imposed on the individual.

 

(10)    

1n this section “relevant decisions” means the decisions that the following

 

conditions are met—

 

(a)    

condition A;

 

(b)    

condition B;

 

(c)    

condition C; and

 

(d)    

condition D.”
