I thought something like this would be a typical court case where evidence is provided against her and she has an opportunity to defend herself. I could be wrong but it looks like an executive decision has been made by the home secretary, are you able to summarise the law around it?
It is an executive decision. But she does have a right of appeal to the SIAC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Im...Commission
So the decision is made by the Home Office/the secretary of state or officials acting on his behalf. Then a right of appeal will be triggered by virtue of legislation, in this case as it relates to "matter of national security" would be heard in the SIAC as opposed to an open court/tribunal.
