New Cases from Europe and USA

I'm currently teaching part of a course on
Information Liberties
in Franklin Pierce Law Center, Concord, New Hampshire, USA.


Coincidentally enough, a number of significant cases have been made while I am here, which will be of interest to many Irish lawyers.


Three significant cases concerning terrorism were issued by the US Supreme Court, including Rasul v Bush.


The same court has also issued yet another decision concerning regulation of child pornography - Ashcroft v ACLU.


And the European Court of Human Rights has decided that Princess Caroline's privacy was breached by certain photographs -


Von Hannover v Germany (Microsoft Word format.)
