"Freedom of expression and the degree to which this can lawfully be limited has been a noticeable theme in recent cases. Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights confers a qualified right of freedom of expression including the 'freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.' [..] So the right to freedom of expression is subject to specified limitations which are assessed case by case. This article takes a brief look at freedom of expression in three different contexts: the Code of Conduct, the duty of confidence and the right of peaceful assembly."
