At AO Solicitors, we provide efficient and cost-effective human rights legal services by providing advice and representation for anyone who believes his/her human rights have been breached by the decision/policies of the Home Office, Tribunals, Courts or and institution.

If you have a dispute with, or heard by, a public body they have to give you your human rights. These include life, liberty, security, fair trial, privacy, religion, free speech and assembly. Every time the state touches you, or talks about you, or tells you what you can say to whom or where you can go you should be thinking “does this breach my human rights?” Then you need to speak to our human rights legal services team on 01268 883020.

Human Rights Legal Services Case Studies

1. The police kettled Josh and Hanna at the Climate Camp demo in Bishopsgate during the G20 demo, as it happens simultaneously to the police killing Ian Tomlinson. But there was no imminent breach of the peace. They won a judicial review which ruled kettling disproportionate and thus a deprivation of liverty, and so can now sue for false imprisonment. The police would pay typically between £300 and £2,000 an hour depending on the affront, upset and time.
2. The government leaked Agatha’s medical records because they thought she was an opposition stooge criticising the NHS. They owe her thousands for breach of privacy and data protection.
3. The police hung Dan out the third floor window of the police station by his ankles until he confessed to shoplifting, as they had no evidence otherwise. He will be acquitted as torture evidence cannot be used.
4. The government abolished legal aid due to the recession. Sally now cannot afford to sue to get her house back from squatters. She will argue that is a breach of her right to a fair trial and to her property.
