As invited by the Complainants, the Tribunal consider that, on the application
of judicial review principles to the facts found, it is appropriate to make the
following order under s67(7) and s68(3) RIPA:
(1) A declaration that (a) the authorisation applied for and granted
on 8 February 2008 and acted on by the Council did not comply
with the requirements of RIPA and was invalid; and (b) the
Complainants
have
been
unlawfully subjected
to
directed
surveillance;
(2) That their findings and their determination be published.
(3) That their full findings and determination be sent to the Chief
Surveillance Commissioner for information,
the Office of
Surveillance Commissioners having made an Inspection Report
dated 26 June 2008 (Assistant Commissioner HH Lord Colville of
Culross).
