This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

An Algerian man’s refusal of a request to revoke his deportation order was quashed by the High Court, reported on 1 August 2018.

Mr Justice Richard Humphreys found that the Minister for Justice had breached fair procedures by failing to apply a specific legal test to evidence relied on in refusing the request.

The man cannot be identified for legal reasons and was said to have links to Islamic terrorism, claims he denies. The court adjourned the matter until September for submissions on whether the case should be remitted to the Minister again.
