"We have more general concerns about the recent disconnect between laws that are in force &
therefore binding, & “announcements”, “directions” or “instructions” from Govt which have no legal force, but which are communicated in such a way as to appear binding." @TomRHickman https://twitter.com/HumanRightsCtte/status/1248250603182194689

"It is crucial that enforcement authorities are clear on the law.
Otherwise there are real risks in respect of the rule of law and potentially also Article 7 ECHR (no punishment without law)."

"A number of unexpected issues are likely to arise as these Regulations are applied. For example, it is not currently clear that two people who do not live together but are in a relationship are able to leave their respective homes to meet..."

".... This is an extraordinary interference with the [Article 8] right to private and family life and will become
more severe the longer the Regulations or their successors remain in force."

Very interesting and important stuff. HT @AdamWagner1 cc @merryvarney
