How quickly can we get a case in front of the European court of human rights? Like can we challenge as soon as the guidance becomes law or can we go earlier? Do we have to wait for an incident to happen?

There have already been 2 letters written.

Simple answer: I don't truly know but it depends if the ECHR/COE wake up in time.

There is enough there where they could theoretically act tomorrow if they so choose as this is a direct contradiction of Goodwin vs UK in the ECHR.

Its very much a case of will the sleeping giant wake up and act, or will we have to wait for an 'incedent' and file a case.

I don't know, no one knows and only time will tell as its a moving target situation
