Van Colle and Another v Chief Constable of Hertfordshire Constabulary
House of Lords
“The test for considering whether the state had violated its obligation to protect life under article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights was stringent and remained constant; no lower standard applied where the threat to an individual’s life arose from the state’s decision to call him as a witness.”
