Desmond v Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police [2011] EWCA Civ 3; [2011] WLR (D) 1
“In considering whether the chief officer’s statutory obligation under s 115(7) of the Police Act 1997 to provide information to the Criminal Records Bureau on a request for an Enhanced Criminal Record Certificate (ECRC) had been carried out in a manner which, exceptionally where the relationship between claimant and defendant arose in a statutory context, gave rise to a breach of the common law duty of care towards the claimant, an important factor was the existence of other remedies such as a claim under art 8 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.”
