Al-Fayed v Secretary of State for Home Department (2000)

Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006

[2001] Imm AR 134 (CA). The claimant appealed against a decision of the Home Secretary not to grant naturalization on the grounds, inter alia, that the failure to give reasons for the decision revealed bias. The court held that there was no general duty for the Home Secretary to give reasons for his decision, but that he should still be bound by the general rules of fairness. In this case, there was no evidence that he had acted unfairly, and so the claim failed.
