prescribed by law
A prerequisite for interference with any right in the European Convention of Human Rights: any such interference will be unlawful if it is not prescribed by law (or “in accordance with the law”). To be “prescribed by law” there must be a legal regime governing the interference in question. Moreover, that law must be both adequately accessible (in that citizens must be able to understand whether or not the law applies in a given case—albeit with the help of lawyers) and formulated with sufficient precision to enable citizens to regulate their conduct (Sunday Times v UK (1979) 2 EHRR 245). |
