Abstract
Examines C v Chief Constable of the Police Service of Scotland (OH) on whether police officers' privacy was violated by the interception of WhatsApp messages for use in investigations of misconduct under the Police Service of Scotland (Conduct) Regulations 2014. Considers whether the law on breach of confidence and misuse of private information extended from English to Scots law, and whether the Scottish courts had recognised a right to privacy.
