Judgement for the case R v Soneji

Table Of Contents

  • Failure by a judge to consider whether there were exceptional circumstances to extend a confiscation order, so that Defendant challenged it under judicial review.

  • HL held that the correct approach to an alleged failure to comply with a provision prescribing the doing of some act before a power was exercised was to ask whether it was a purpose of the legislature that an act done in breach of that provision should be invalid.

  • This would depend on  weighing up of public interest, which here militated towards allowing the orders to stand.
