Convention rights and issues I need to consider

Article 8 Respect for private and family life, home and correspondence

• Is the bugging or monitoring authorised by law?
• Does it pursue a legitimate permitted aim, e.g. national security, prevention of crime?
• Does it meet a "pressing social need"?
• Is it proportionate to the aim and non-discriminatory?
• Has the scope and duration of the interference been judicially authorised?
• Does actual eavesdropping or monitoring comply with the authorised scope and duration?
