OK the article is really coming along now, so far I have covered:
1. European Convention on Human Rights (1950)
2. Human Rights Act (1998)
3. Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (2000)
4. Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003
5. Computer Misuse Act 1990 (both Scottish and English versions)
6. Fraud Act 2006
I still have to write about
:
1. Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1997
2. Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988
3. Data Protection Act 1998
4. The Council of Europe's Convention on Cybercrime
That will be the legal stuff finished I think which will then leave my conclusion. So far, I can only believe that the trials of 2006/2007 after careful analysis of UK Law were incredibly illegal, led to multiple criminal offences under multiple laws and leave BT open to litigation under Tort Law.
