A former police inspector who was involved in a high court case after his phone was bugged has welcomed the latest legal development.
Simon Graley’s phone was tapped during a police investigation, although a criminal case against him later collapsed.
The Interception of Communications Tribunal said the bugging warrants - obtained by police and signed by the Chief Minister - were unlawful.
But, last year, following a challenge by the Attorney General and Chief Constable, Mike Culverhouse, Deemster Doyle ordered Mr Graley’s case to be re-heard.
However, an appeal court has now overturned that ruling and backed the Tribunal.
Mr Graley says it reflects badly on those involved in the warranting process:
Island's first rapid EV charger being installed
Mooir Vannin could be first of many
'Significant investment or redevelopment' needed at Ramsey District Cottage Hospital
Braddan Commissioners open expressions of interest for TT camping at Roundhouse
