United Kingdom Supreme Court, [2015] UKSC 2019, 20 March 2015 (Pham)

Abstract

Revocation of British citizenship on national security grounds. Involvement in terrorist activities. Risk of statelessness. 

Normative references

British Nationality Act 1981 (UK)

Ruling

Even when a naturalized person is stripped of his/her British citizenship on national security grounds, statelessness must be avoided. If the naturalized person lost his/her primary citizenship due to or, anyway, after naturalization, the deprivation decision would result in statelessness.
