Notes

2Para. 3.105 reads: ‘Discrimination means treating people in similar situations differently … without proper justification.’

3Para. 3.68 reads: ‘You have the right to respect for your private and family life, your home and your correspondence. Article 8 is an example of a qualified right in the ECHR. This means that there is a framework in place against which any interference with your rights by the state must be judged to see if it is acceptable.’
