A New Ruling Forces the Supreme Court to Confront the Trump Administration's Lies Under Oath

This is the policy the Trump administration uses to banish immigrants to countries that are not their home countries, and to which they often have no connection whatsoever. The Trump administration does this without giving people notice of where they were being expelled, or an opportunity to object to being expelled there. That clearly violates the Convention Against Torture, which bars the government from deporting people to any country in which there is substantial reason to believe they will be tortured or killed.

Victory for Met Police as judges rule vetting can include unproved allegations

It seems to me that the nature of the exercise which is required in vetting is different from the exercise in disciplinary proceedings. In disciplinary proceedings, in common with many situations in which a decision-maker has to decide whether an event occurred in the past, the balance of probabilities is a sensible way to decide that question of fact.
