In July 2010 the IPT made a finding in favour in this case of a husband and wife joint complaint against the Northern Ireland DSD. The DSD did not dispute that they mistakenly authorised surveillance to allow DSD officers to enter the complainants’ property posing as prospective house purchasers. This is the Tribunal’s decision on remedies. They ordered the quashing of the authorisation and for notes of the surveillance to be destroyed and then stated that the surveillance was a breach of the Complainants’ Article 8 rights.
