Consumers units are now designed with nuisance tripping in mind. Either Fill the board with RCBO's (expensive but coming down in price) or 2 RCD's and the board split between them. Then if it trips then only half the house goes out and if designed properly you loose for instance the upstairs lighting circuit and the downstairs ring-main.

Whereas most people in the UK consider the Euro court of human rights to be a bunch of interfering busy bodys or jobsworths, and in general most of the rulings they come up with do come across as 'annoying'.
Ruling like this however are the reason the court was set up. I do hope this ruling stands and that this court will continue to keep its eye on privacy issues like this and prove to the population in general that it does have a purpose.
