[2006] EWCA Crim 258

The "right to control the operation or use of the system" as provided by the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 s.1(6) was wider than "the right to operate or use the system". The concept of control extended to controlling how the system was used and operated by others, and meant the right to authorise or forbid the operation of the system.
