Regina (T) v Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police and others (Liberty and another intervening); Regina (B) v Secretary of State for the Home Department; Regina (W) v Secretary of State for Justice [2013] EWCA Civ 25; [2013] WLR (D) 33

“The statutory regime requiring the blanket disclosure of all convictions and cautions relating to recordable offences against an individual was disproportionate to (i) the general aim of protecting employers and, in particular, children and vulnerable adults who were in their care, and (ii) the particular aim of enabling employers to make an assessment as to whether the individual was suitable for a particular kind of work.”
