Terrorist Asset-Freezing (Temporary Provisions) Bill

I am trying to illustrate the impact that the regime has. The Treasury has relaxed some of the rules and there has been a change in relation to the nature of the three orders. There has also been reform of the system of licensing and exemption. In the 2009 order, there is much greater acceptance of the terms; indeed, the Treasury is trying to migrate a number of the people who are covered by the earlier orders on to the 2009 order. The judgment continues:"““A, K and M have never been charged or arrested for terrorism related offences.””" So the Government have introduced an intrusive regime that denies people who are suspected of crimes some of their fundamental rights under the European convention on human rights, including those under article 1 on protection of property, article 8 on respect for privacy and family life and article 6 on the right to a fair trial. As Lord Brown argued in paragraph 192:"““The draconian nature of the regime imposed under these asset-freezing Orders can hardly be over-stated…Undoubtedly, therefore, these Orders provide for a regime which considerably interferes with the…rights””." He went on:"““Similarly, it is indisputable that serious questions arise as to the sufficiency of protection of the article 6 rights of those designated.””"
