The European Court of Human Rights has dismissed former UK MP Owen Paterson's complaint regarding a parliamentary investigation into his lobbying conduct, which led to his 2021 resignation. El Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos ha desestimado la queja del ex diputado del Reino Unido Owen Paterson sobre una investigación parlamentaria de su conducta de cabildeo, que condujo a su dimisión en 2021. Paterson claimed the probe violated his privacy rights and damaged his reputation. Paterson afirmó que la investigación violó sus derechos de privacidad y dañó su reputación. The ECHR ruled the investigation was necessary for parliamentary integrity and found Paterson's arguments to be unfounded, stating the matter was for Parliament, not the courts, to regulate. El CEDH dictaminó que la investigación era necesaria para la integridad parlamentaria y consideró que los argumentos de Paterson eran infundados, afirmando que la cuestión era que el Parlamento, no los tribunales, regularan.
