Sanctions: challenging designations | Practical Law
Sanctions are designed to put pressure on those responsible for the targeted behaviour by imposing restrictive measures. Sanctions targets face a raft of draconian measures, which effectively shut them out of the international financial system and business and/or employment in those countries implementing the sanctions. Consequently, designated persons may wish to challenge the basis on which they have been sanctioned. This note addresses ways of doing that, focusing on designated persons in or related to the UK.
