AKJ and Others v Commissioner of Police for The Metroplis and Others: QBD 17 Jan 2013

The claimants sought damages for the actions of undercover police officers engaging in sexual activity as part of the investigation. The court now considered the role of the Investigatory Powers Tribunal in dealing with such claims.
Held: Such activity fell within ‘personal or other relationship with a person’ for the purposes of section 26(8) of the 2000 Act and therefore under section 65, the Tribunal had exclusive jurisdiction to hear a claim brought against the police under the Human Rights Act 1998.
