A number of protesters were arrested in the run up to the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton in April 2011 and then released after the festivities were over. The legal claim in this case centred on the deprivation of liberty under Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights and in particular the exceptions that exist under Articles 5(1)(b) and (c). By the time the case was decided upon in the Supreme Court a similar case had already made it to the European Court of Human Rights (Ostendorf v Germany [2015]) but it was unclear what impact this would have on the final ruling for Hicks.
