John Burton QC appears on behalf of CD, a terrorism suspect

John Burton QC appeared on behalf of the Appellant CD in his appeal against a Control Order relocating him from the Capital. It was argued that such a relocation was not necessary or proportionate.  
In giving Judgment on the appeal Mr Justice Simon said CD's removal to an undisclosed address "in a Midland city" was "a necessary and proportionate measure to protect the public from the risk of what is an immediate and real risk of a terrorist-related attack".
