However concerns were raised by various Members of Parliament including Labour Party MP, Tom Watson (who amongst others initiated the legislation) and several human rights group as the legislation was seen as a threat to an individual\u2019s right to privacy. Indeed several reports had cropped up highlighting the misuse of DRIPA. However after its expiry in 2016, the Government enacted The Investigatory Powers Act 2016 (IPA) which was in line with the previous legislation, so much so that it came to be known as the Snooper\u2019s Charter. DRIPA was found to be in conflict with Articles 7 and 8 of the Human Rights Convention by the High Court of London. The government preferred an appeal and the Court of Appeal referred the case to the European Court of Justice for clarification. The ECJ in its ruling, agreed with the High Court, and ordered the government to introduce greater safeguards to protect people\u2019s privacy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bench stated that the powers in the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014, which paved the way for the snooper\u2019s charter is inconsistent with EU law to the extent that for the purpose of prevention, investigation and detection and prosecution of criminal offences, it permitted access to retained data, where the object pursued by that access was not solely restricted to fighting serious crime. Furthermore there was a lack of a prior review by a court or an independent administrative authority, therefore the regime cannot be deemed to be lawful. The challenge to the present surveillance legislation shall be decided in February. [Secretary of State for the Home Department v. Tom Watson, [2018] EWCA Civ 70, decided on 30.01.2018]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Court of Appeal (Civil Division): In a case brought
