Witnesses
Thursday 6th February 2014, Committee Room 1, Palace of Westminster
At 10.05am
- Philip Moser Q.C., Monckton Chambers; and
- Maya Lester, Brick Court Chambers
Maya Lester, a barrister who has expertise in sanctions and has appeared in leading sanctions cases, and Philip Moser QC, who also has particular expertise in UN and EU sanctions cases and has appeared in leading cases, will both give evidence to the Committee on Thursday 6 February.
Questions they will face include:
- What factors lie behind recent court challenges to the EU’s restrictive measures?
- Do the legal challenges reflect weaknesses in the current sanctions process?
- What can be done to address any such weaknesses?
- Are there flaws in the procedures that cover the listing, delisting and potential re-listing of those to be sanctioned?
- How could the situation be improved in relation to sharing classified information in courts?
