Summary
The Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 introduced control orders to restrict the activities of individuals suspected of involvement in terrorism. Control orders were replaced by Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (TPIMs) in 2011.
Key Points
- Control orders imposed obligations on suspects — curfew, electronic tagging, reporting requirements, restrictions on association and communication
- Non-derogating and derogating control orders
- Challenged repeatedly in courts — AF (No 3) required disclosure of sufficient case to give effective instructions
- Replaced by TPIMs under Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Act 2011
