Human rights

Manchester Ship Canal Developments Ltd and another v Unknown and others [2014] EWHC 645 (Ch), [2014] All ER (D) 93 (Mar)

Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights was a right accorded to an individual who was entitled to assert it, usually, as an answer to proposed administrative action by a public authority. It was not an answer to a claim for possession made by a landowner against a specific individual that the effect of the order sought would be a disproportionate interference with the Art 8 rights of other defendants unless the allegation was of interference with family rights, where the interests of the family as a whole could be relevant.
