Guardian News and Media Ltd & Ors in HM Treasury v Ahmed & Ors

Facts

A, K, M, G & HAY were individuals subject to orders under terrorism legislation. Various freezing orders were in place and all of the individuals had been granted anonymity, despite both G and HAY's identities being in the public domain. HAY argued that identification of him would result in retributive actions against members of his family; the whereabouts of A and K was unknown, but M argued that publication of his or A or K's name could cause serious damage to his reputation, and would affect his family life. The media applicants applied for the orders to be lifted.
