- Year of Publication: 2019
- ISBN: 9789389407082
The legal landscape surrounding celebrity, royalty, privacy and the media is more complex than ever. This new work examines how English law has, and has not, balanced celebrities’ legal expectations of informational and seclusional privacy against the press and the media’s rights to inform and publish. It considers the raft of important recent cases that has significantly changed and clarified the law in this area, including:
- Campbell
- Mosley
- Von Hannover 1, 2 and 3
- Martinez v MGN
- Google Spain
- Weller v Associated
- Newspapers
- Google Inc v Vidal-Hall
- Lachaux
- Gulati v MGN
- YXB v TNO
It covers key concepts such as proportionality, breach of confidence, protected information, misuse of private information and parliamentary privilege in the age of social media. It explains the regimes that protect the anonymity of celebrities’ children and shows how celebrities can use copyright, data protection and the Defamation Act 2013 as privacy remedies. The position of the Monarch and members of the Royal family in relation to privacy laws is also explored.
This book offers expert advice, analysis and guidance to practitioners, academics, students, journalists and data protection stakeholders on celebrity and royal privacy, media and the law.
