The case of DD v. Secretary of State for the Home Department [2014] EWHC 3820 (Admin) was heard again at the High Court between 21 and 24 April 2015. In a judgment handed down on 19 June 2015 Mr Justice Collins upheld the Secretary of State’s decision to revive the TPIM notice against DD on 23 August 2013, 6 May 2014 and 3 July 2014. Mr Justice Collins also upheld the Secretary of State’s decision to extend the TPIM notice against DD for a second and final year. In the same judgment Mr Justice Collins quashed the monitoring measure contained in DD’s TPIM notice as he concluded that in DD’s specific circumstances it breached DD’s rights under article 3 of the European convention on human rights. Mr Justice Collins also directed a variation to the electronic communications device measure contained in DD’s TPIM notice.
