ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:  

INTERIGHTS would like to thank Allen & Overy, the Commonwealth Secretariat, the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple and the John D and Catherine T MacArthur Foundation for their support of the Database. Thanks also to all those who have contributed judgments for the Commonwealth Human Rights Case Law Database.
DISCLAIMER:  

We apologise for any inconvenience to users but the Database is currently being rewritten and although all existing information is accessible, we are unable to upload any new cases until early February 2005. Thank you for your patience.

Whilst INTERIGHTS has taken every care to ensure that the information contained in the Commonwealth Human Rights Case Law Database is correct, the Database is a tool for identifying relevant cases and summaries are intended only to indicate the content of the judgment. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of information contained within the Database and users should always check the full text of any decision before relying on a summary.
