Cases

Wood v Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis (CA)

Comment

Laws LJ observed (Dyson LJ and Lord Collins agreeing): "This cluster of values, summarised as the personal autonomy of every individual and taking concrete form as a presumption against interference with the individual’s liberty, is a defining characteristic of a free society. We therefore need to preserve it even in little cases. At the same time it is important that this core right protected by Article 8, however protean, should not be read so widely that its claims become unreal and unreasonable."
