holding answer 5 March 2013 terrorism prevention and investigation measure (TPIM) notices may be imposed by the Secretary of State for the Home Department following the grant of permission by the High Court (in urgent cases permission may be granted retrospectively), and are then subject to a full High Court review.

The proceedings to grant permission to impose a TPIM notice, as previously for control orders, are ex parte and are therefore not in the public domain. After a TPIM notice has been served, this information may form part of the subsequent High Court review. However, for operational reasons, this might not always be the case.
