The Al Saadi case did not progress to the stage where the Government presented a written defence. The Government has no plans to publish its written defence for the Belhaj case. This case was subject to a declaration under Section 6 of the Justice and Security Act 2013 which permitted a Closed Material Procedure for reasons of national security.
