MN (Somalia) v Secretary of State
[2014] UKSC 30 at paragraph 24 where Lord Carnwath said that “Generally the area of legitimate debate is about relevance and weight, not admissibility”. 23. Mr Mackenzie accepted that there was evidence that the appellant had been arrested in connection with the alleged conspiracy to bomb the US Embassy in Tirana but the important point was that he had not been prosecuted. Accordingly nothing turned on this. So far as the redactions were concerned, the fact was that the Security Service documents were redacted and the Tribunal was entitled to place less weight on the documents for that reason. While individual mention had not been made of Annex Y, it was clear from a full reading of the determination that it had been considered by the FTT.
