The Terrorism Act 2000 (Remedial) Order 2011
In the case of Gillan and Quinton v United Kingdom (Application no.4158/05) the European Court of Human Rights found that there had been a violation of article 8 of the Convention on the grounds that the powers of authorisation and confirmation as well as the powers of stop and search under sections 44 to 47 of the Terrorism Act 2000 (“the 2000 Act”) are neither sufficiently circumscribed nor subject to adequate legal safeguards against abuse.
