Abstract

Reflects on the High Court ruling in R. (on the application of Privacy International) v Investigatory Powers Tribunal, and criticises its findings that the ouster clause in the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 prevented judicial review of decisions of the Investigatory Powers Tribunal. Discusses the courts' traditional hostility to ouster clauses, the background to the case, key aspects of the judgment, and its wider implications.
