What are the functions of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (“SIAC”) when it hears an appeal against the Home Secretary’s decisions to deprive a person of their British citizenship and/or to refuse a person entry clearance on national security grounds? Can SIAC engage in a full merits-based review of the Home Secretary’s decisions or is it confined to a more limited review of the decision on public law grounds? To what extent can SIAC interfere with the Home Secretary’s assessment of the risk to national security posed by the affected person?
