UK De-listing

The system for challenging UK designations and de-listing is set out in the Sanctions & Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 and The Sanctions Review Procedure (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (SI 2018/1269). This entails administrative review (where a Minster may decide to confirm, revoke or vary a designation) and a public law claim in the High Court or Court of Session.
