Sought advice on how the IPC has regard to human rights when determining s.53 authorisation requests.

Advice given

The IPC as a public authority will consider in relation to each s.53 authorisation request whether the authorisation of entry onto third party land would be lawful and proportionate, having regard to the Human Rights Act 1998 prior to determining a s.53 authorisation request.

If you would like further details regarding the Human Rights Act 1998, I would suggest that you refer to the Equality and Human Rights Commission at http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/human-rights.
