Case comment: R (Wang Yam) v Central Criminal Court
In R (Wang Yam) v Central Criminal Court the Supreme Court has held that the domestic courts enjoy an inherent jurisdiction to make orders which have the effect of preventing an applicant to the Court of Human Rights from putting material before that court. This analysis considers the decision in the context of the growth of ‘secret trials’ in the domestic criminal system, arguing that the Supreme Court’s decision may merely postpone a dispute between the UK and the Strasbourg Court on the implications of this growth in secrecy for the UK’s compliance with the Convention.

Abstract

In R (Wang Yam) v Central Criminal Court the Supreme Court has held that the domestic courts enjoy an inherent jurisdiction to make orders which have the effect of preventing an applicant to the Court of Human Rights from putting material before that court. This analysis considers the decision in the context of the growth of ‘secret trials’ in the domestic criminal system, arguing that the Supreme Court’s decision may merely postpone a dispute between the UK and the Strasbourg Court on the implications of this growth in secrecy for the UK’s compliance with the Convention.
