Night-time curfews, Labour's big idea to curb anti-social behaviour, will be challenged in the European Court of Human Rights after a teenager in West Sussex agreed to let the civil rights group Liberty bring a test case in his name. If the case is successful, it will be a humiliating blow for the government, which introduced the legislation in a blaze of publicity, despite opposition from civil rights campaigners.
