It also constituted an interference with M's rights under the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms Art 8 and First Protocol 1 Art 1. On appeal, the HL held that M did not have a common law action in nuisance against T as such an action would conflict with the comprehensive statutory scheme laid down in the Water Industry Act 1991 which complied with the European Convention.
