- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was refused because no question of principle arose and no appearance of miscarriage of justice existed on these facts; the Special Advocate process did not miscarry; the Court of Appeal properly balanced the public interest in disclosure against demonstrable harm to national security and international relations under s70, and concluded non-disclosure was warranted.
