Social Work England v Tarik Sobrany

Social Work England v Tarik Sobrany

A 9-month extension of the Interim Suspension Order is necessary, justified, and proportionate in the circumstances, allowing for the scheduled final hearing and providing sufficient headroom. An 18-month extension is not justified given the current procedural posture and the need for ongoing judicial oversight in the context of resource constraints and public interest.
