Written by a specialist team of academics and media barristers, The Law of Privacy and the Media gives expert guidance for practitioners working on cases relating to privacy and the media and will be of value to academics with an interest in this field. The book offers an overview of English media privacy law, outlining key legislation and legal rules. It includes comparative perspectives and addresses current debates about the form and scope of modern privacy protection. The 4th edition of The Law of Privacy and the Media has been fully updated to address numerous changes to the legal landscape since the last edition, including the impact of Brexit on privacy protection. The book provides detailed but accessible chapters on GDPR and the various forms of wrongful publication of personal information, as well as intrusion into physical privacy, before considering justifications and defences, remedies, and the procedure to be followed in such cases. It deals in detail with practice in media law cases, including how to obtain and challenge derogations from open justice, harassment by speech, data protection law as it relates to the media, and the media regulatory codes, covering OFCOM and IPSO decisions. Since the publication of the first edition in 2002, The Law of Privacy and The Media has established itself as the leading reference work on the rapidly developing law of privacy in England and Wales. It has been frequently referred to in privacy cases, with extracts cited with approval in judgments at all levels. This new edition brings the work fully up to date offering detailed, practical, and authoritative guidance, essential for practitioners in this area.
