MR JUSTICE JAY:
"17. There is an issue which may fall to be determined in another case as to whether the mandatory terms are para 3(6) of schedule 4 themselves determine the question of proportionality or whether the court in considering whether the application is vitiated by a public law error should conduct a proportionality exercise on the facts of the individual case.
18. The answer to that question does not matter in this case because even if it is necessary to conduct a proportionality exercise on the facts of the individual case I am wholly satisfied that on the facts of this case the decision to apply for a notification order constitutes a proportionate restriction or Mr Geele's Article 8 rights."
