SINCE the enactment of the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA), the Supreme Court (and its predecessor) has repeatedly seized the opportunity to affirm the role the common law continues to play in protecting rights. The recent decision in 'R. (On the application of Jalloh (formerly Jollah)) v Secretary of State for the Home Department' [2020] UKSC 4, 2 W.L.R. 418 emphatically continues this trend. The Supreme Court was asked to determine the meaning of "imprisonment" for the purposes of the tort of false imprisonment and whether it should be aligned with the concept of "deprivation of liberty" in Article 5 of the ECHR. In dismissing the appeal, the court refused to read down the protections afforded by the common law.
