ABSTRACT
The applicant was charged on 23 July 1981 with five other persons, including Mr G, with attempted murder, infringement of the arms and ammunition legislation and infringement of the law regarding protection and control of nuclear substances. Information came from Mr G, an informant, who approached the Chief Superintendent of police and volunteered to make a phone call to the applicant to discuss the crime with her. The Chief Superintendent accepted the informant’s offer but did not at the time inform his superiors. On 7 March 1991 the court found no case to answer against the applicant. The applicant complained that there had been an infringement of her private life. Comm found by majority (9-2) V 8.
