Terrorism and the control orders/TPIMs saga: a vindication of the Human Rights Act or a manifestation of ‘defensive democracy’?

Fenwick, H.M.

Abstract

Considers the extent to which control orders and terrorism prevention and investigation measures (TPIMs) can be reconciled with the provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998. Discusses the initial minimising of rights under control orders, the subsequent judicial reassertion of human rights, and how the two competing developments have helped shape Government policy regarding the evolution of TPIMs and preventive trial-based measures.
