Today's Highlighted Video Story: (1) Does article 6(1) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 violate the appellant's right to respect for private and family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights because it fails to provide for a review mechanism whereby a previous conviction can be treated as "spent" for the purposes of that order?
(2) If article 6(1) is a violation, should the court make a declaration of incompatibility?
(3) If article 6(1) is a violation, was the Court of Appeal wrong to uphold the High Court's refusal to award the appellant damages?
The Supreme Court unanimously dismisses the appeal.
