§ POLICE - GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATIONS - MISUSE OF PRIVATE INFORMATION - BREACH OF CONFIDENCE - ARTICLE 8 EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTSALI v CHIEF CONSTABLE OF BEDFORDSHIRE [2023] EWHC 938. Full and edited judgment in DOWNLOADS.NOTE The judgment is a first rate example of the use of human rights law to sidestep what would ordinarily not be tortious at common law. Here, liability succeeded on each of the above heads - but would not have done so in negligence due to a novus actus interveniens (a new intervening act).Moreover, on the same facts, in 2022 the claimant had failed alleging vicarious liability on the part of a local authority (Ali v Luton Borough Council [2022] EWHC 132 - in the Library).Posted: 25th May 2023 7:10 pm
