Frazer, Re An Application For Judicial Review [2004] NIQB 68 (27 October 2004
Decision to refuse admission to Key Persons Protection Scheme was not procedurally unfair as internal advice was neutral and applicant had opportunity to make representations; however, decision regarding protection outwith the Scheme failed to consider that a 'real and immediate' risk under Article 2 ECHR is not limited to 'imminent' threats, rendering the approach flawed and requiring quashing. Refusal and revocation of firearms certificate were not procedurally unfair as all information available to the decision-maker was disclosed and reliance on police intelligence was reasonable.
