The claimant challenged the decision of the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to recover from her an overpayment of income support in 1996 and 1997 by way of the deduction from current payments to her of employment and support allowance, saying that the continued recovery of the overpayment in this way breached her right in Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights (‘ECHR’ or ‘the Convention’) to the peaceful enjoyment of her possessions.
