Dear Mr W Cooper

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request. It has been passed to the relevant section within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to deal with. They will be in touch with you should your request need clarification.

We received your request on 19 October 2009 and will aim to respond within 20 working days.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Cooper,

The documents you have requested under the Freedom of Information request are actually publicly available from the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and we would normally suggest you contact the Court direct to obtain the documentation. However, on this occasion I can send you a copy of the main observations. I will forward this by separate e-mail.

Kind regards,

Joanne Yeadon
