Regina (Barclay and another) v Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice and others (No 2)

“Where remedy could be sought in the courts of the Bailiwick of Guernsey and of the Island of Sark, there was great force in the argument that judicial review of advice given by the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice to the Committee for the Affairs of Sark as to the compliance of legislative proposals for Sark with the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms should take place in those courts rather than in the High Court in London but where, as in the present case, the review was a further stage in a sequence of review which had entailed an earlier concession permitting review in the High Court, it would be wrong for the High Court to decline jurisdiction.”
