Proportionality, wednesbury unreasonableness

Hi there!

I am really confused about the proportionality test for administrative law!!!

I don't understand how it works and the for/against argument for it??
I think I understand the Wednesbury unreasonableness test better. But I also don't really understand the for/against argument for it.


Could someone enlighten me on it please?
Thanks in advance!

For a discussion of proportionality see R (Daly) v SSHD [2001] UKHL 26, 2 AC 532. Suggest Lord Steyn @paras 26 and 27.
