Regina (Barclay and Others) v Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice and Others
Supreme Court
“The presence of two unelected, non-voting members in the legislature of the Channel Island of Sark which had 28 voting members democratically elected by an electorate of under 500 was not incompatible with article 3 of the First Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights, and, having regard to the constitutional history and political factors relating to Sark, was well within the margin of appreciation afforded by article 3.”
