The past year has seen important developments - both in terms of new legislation and case-law - relating to counter-terrorism law. The Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 includes provisions for post-charge questioning, post-sentence monitoring and a new appeals regime for asset-freezing orders. In the courts, there have been a number of significant decisions affecting a range of counter-terrorism measures.

An in-depth analysis from leading experts
