24Privacy under the European Convention on Human Rights
In a case that rested on the question of whether access to medical records was covered by Article Eight of the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees citizens' right to privacy, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the Finnish government failed to protect a citizen's right to privacy through negligent handling of her medical records (I v. Finland, Eur. Ct. H.R., No. 20511/03, 7/17/08).
The ECHR ruling is available fron the Court's own website.
