Under the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Regulations 2018 ("the Regulations"), the Secretary of State charges a mandatory fee of £1,012 to all children applying to be registered as British citizens under various provisions of the British Nationality Act 1981.

                The Appellants argue that, as the fee is unaffordable for a significant number of children, and so makes their statutory right to be registered as British citizens meaningless in practice, the Regulations must be unlawful. The High Court and the Court of Appeal rejected that argument. The Appellants now appeal to the Supreme Court.

Mr Pwr attended a demonstration in London on 27 January 2018, the broad purpose of which was to protest against the perceived actions of the Turkish state in Afrin, a town in north-eastern Syria. During the demonstration, he was filmed waving a red flag which had the face of Abdullah Ocalan on it. Abdullah Ocalan is the founder of the Partiya Karkeren Kurdistane. an organisation proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000 (the "2000 Act").
Mr Pwr was removed from the protest and charged with an offence contrary to section 13(1) ("section 13") of the 2000 Act. He was convicted by District Judge Snow in the Westminster Magistrates’ Court. On appeal, the Crown Court dismissed Mr Pwr’s application of no case to answer, the basis of which was that (1) section 13 should be interpreted as requiring mens rea; and (2) to be compliant with Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, section 13 must include an element of deliberate incitement to violence. The Divisional Court upheld the Crown Court’s findings. Mr Pwr now seeks to appeal to the Supreme Court.
