On appeal from the Divisional Court: [2008] EWHC 3098 (Admin). Leave to appeal to the House of Lords was refused. An admissibility application was subsequently made before the European Court of Human Rights; see Al-Saadoon and Mufdhi v. United Kingdom.
The court examines the applicability of English Law vs Iraqi law, whether UNSCR regulations and the UN Charter qualified Mr Al-Jedda rights under the ECHR, such that his detainment would not be a violation of Article 5 (1). The Secretary of State (SoS) also raised an new untested argument regarding where the appellant's detention was attributable to the United Nations and therefor outside the scope of the ECHR.
