Guzzardi v Italy 7367/76 [1980] ECHR 5

Revision as of 20:56, 10 July 2010 by Jonathan (talk | contribs)

Article 5(1) is not concerned with mere restrictions on liberty of movement; the starting point must be the concrete situation and account must be taken of a whole range of criteria such as the type, duration, effects and manner of implementation of the measure; the difference between deprivation of and restriction upon liberty is merely one of degree or intensity, and not one of nature or substance.
