  Lord Stephens

  (1) What is the correct approach to reviewing the decision of an inferior court or tribunal that has purported to disagree with the assessment of national security issues by the responsible Minister? (2) Were cogent (or any) reasons provided in this case sufficient to render lawful the proposed departure from the Minister’s assessment? (3) Does procedural fairness require a coroner proposing to provide a gist of sensitive information, over which public-interest immunity has been asserted in a Ministerial Certificate, to give the relevant Minster an opportunity to make representations and submissions on the proposed gist before the decision is made to release it? (4) Did the coroner here act ultra vires, Wednesbury irrationally and/or fail to take into account a material consideration when she ordered disclosure of a gist / information damaging to national security when the inquest could never be completed by operation of statute?
