Case of Liberty and Others v. The United Kingdom. European Court of Human Rights (Application no. 58243/00) (Council of Europe) 1.7.08, pp 30. This is a judgement by the European Court of Human Rights in a case brought by Liberty, British Irish Rights watch and the Irish Council for Civil Liberties. The applicants allege that “in the 1990s the Ministry of defence operated an Electronic Test Facility at Capenhurst, Cheshire, which was built to intercept 10,000 simultaneous telephone channels coming from Dublin to London and on to the continent.” The Court held that there had been a violation of Article 8 of the Convention and instructed the respondent state to pay Euro 7,500. http://www.centrumforrattvisa.se/images/File/FRA/LibertyvUK.pdf
