Sanctions 360: Judicial review of sanctions designations in the UK

This video continues our series, Sanctions 360° and we focus on a discrete procedural matter related to judicial review of sanctions listings. If a person is designated to either asset freeze sanctions or is made subject to more limited, sectoral sanctions, such a person will, most likely, first attempt to discuss directly with a sanctioning authority, what, if anything, could be done to remove the listing. If this dialogue proves to be unsuccessful, a listed person would wish to assess the likelihood of challenging the relevant decision of a sanctioning authority in the Courts. The recent decision of the UK Supreme Court in Shvidler and Dalston v Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Secretary of State for Transport clarifies the rules for issuing any such proceedings in the UK. Accordingly, the judgement is fundamental in any assessment of the chances to challenge sanctions listings in the UK. Thank you for watching!
