R (T) v (1) Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, (2) Secretary of State for the Home Department (Secretary of State for Justice an interested party) [2012] EWHC 147 (Admin)
A twenty year old applying for university challenged the requirement to disclose all prior convictions, cautions and warnings in Enhanced Criminal Records Checks. The individual had received a warning for the theft of two bicycles when he was 11 but had had a clear record since then. It was argued that the inflexible nature of the requirement to make such disclosures is in breach of Article 8 of the European Convention.
