A summary of the original case against the legislation can be found here.
A more detailed case is given on the following pages:

- The legislation in all likelihood will have serious unintended consequences
- The legislation as a whole is shot through with hypocrisy
- The legislation is likely to breach the European Convention on Human Rights and the
