IEPT20090115, EHRM, Reklos en Davourlis v Griekenland

Privacy

Violation of right to respect for private life by picture taken in hospital
*  the applicants' prior consent to the taking of their son's picture was indispensable in order to establish the context of its use
*  the key issue in the present case is not the nature, harmless or otherwise, of the applicants' son's representation on the offending photographs, but the fact that the photographer kept them without the applicants' consent. The baby's image was thus retained in the hands of the photographer in an identifiable form with the possibility of subsequent use against the wishes of the person concerned and/or his parents
