4(C). Scenarios

To illustrate the arguments pool, five hypothetical scenarios are set out below to which the arguments can be applied. The section gives lawyers a sense of the types of cases that they may find themselves litigating to secure the right to live in the community. The first three scenarios concern people who are detained in institutions and consider how the facts can be framed as violations of international human rights law. The following two scenarios consider issues arising for people living in the community who are denied access to specialised services and/or to services available to the general public.
