Written by a specialist team of academics, judges and practising lawyers from the UK and abroad under the editorial direction of Dr Nicole Moreham and Sir Mark Warby, 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 first two editions of this book quickly established themselves as the leading reference works on the rapidly developing law of privacy in England and Wales. They have been frequently referred to in argument in privacy cases, and extracts have been cited with approval in judgments of the High Court and Courts of Appeal. Following the Leveson Inquiry, the laws and regulations governing the English media have come under intense scrutiny. This work has been revised and updated to incorporate discussion of both those debates and the continually changing landscape of privacy protection. 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 Law of Privacy and the Media provides detailed but accessible chapters on 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. This edition includes new chapters giving separate consideration to new media and harassment by publication. The Law of Privacy and the Media is essential reading for all those who act for or against the media or who have a general interest in the subject.

Reviews for Tugendhat and Christie: The Law of Privacy and The Media

Review from previous edition Primarily intended as a practitioner's guide to the law, but it includes a consideration of comparative and international jurisprudence, as well as leading academic writing on the subject, in order to elaborate the principles upon which privacy rights are based ... the nearly 800 pages of the book cover surely everything readers ever wanted to know about privacy Media Lawyer ...a major work that is likely to become the main guide for those concerned with the development of the law of privacy insofar as it affects the media Computer Law and Security Report The book's most obvious attraction is that it brings together the disparate aspects of English privacy law for the first time, but it has a great deal else to recommend it; the authors outline often confused areas of law succinctly and clearly; they extrapolate creatively from other actions to fill the many gaps left by the privacy cases; and they illustrate convincingly the degree to which the 'new' right of privacy is already entrenched in our law Commercial Law Journal (2005; 247) An impressive, well-informed book. The publishers are to be congratulated in producing an excellent survey and analysis of the law that will prove immensely useful to lawyers, broadcasters, editors and journalists alike Ent L.R. 2004, 15(5) 167
