‘Earlier this month, the Supreme Court heard argument in R (Privacy International) v Investigatory Powers Tribunal.

In this two-part post, I seek to situate the case in its wider constitutional context, and argue that the Supreme Court ought to abandon the narrow approach the courts have adopted so far.’
