Human rights organisations Liberty and Privacy International are seeking through a joint claim to nullify the MI5 data capture warrants signed off by a series of home secretaries. The warrants, which allowed MI5 to intercept vast amounts of private and sensitive information, had been “obtained as a result of material non-disclosures” according to Tom De La Mare QC, acting for the two human rights groups. The Investigatory Powers Tribunal, the UK’s most secret court, heard that MI5 had unlawfully gathered vast amounts of information that may have extended to millions of citizens, including lawyers and journalists. De La Mare told the tribunal that the warrants should therefore be quashed, since full and frank disclosure - on which there had been a "conscious failure" to engage within MI5 - would have revealed that they were unlawful. The tribunal heard that not acting to quash the warrants would reward “systemic” wrongdoing among intelligence
