I cant remember if it was from this group that I was alerted
to this judgement in the
It was decided that the police had breached the human rights
of Andrew Wood, an arms trade campaigner, when they photographed him and stored
the pictures on a police database.
I read this judgement over the weekend and a few glasses of
Scotch. It is a gobsmackingly interesting one that I recommend to the group.
Despite the fact that statement may say more about me than the judgement I
suggest it would be extremely useful for those members that are on the LLM
Information Rights course at
If HRA is figuring in any of your current course work or essays
the references given in this judgement could save you hour’s of research.
The judgement was 2-1 in favour of Wood which supports a theory
that I have had for some time. If these senior judges cannot agree on privacy issues
what chance the rest of us, especially those of us who are charged with guiding
our fellows through this fog of legal uncertainty?
