Privacy
We are all entitled to a basic level of privacy in both our private and professional lives.
Traditionally, individuals have been able to rely on claims for breach of confidence, which in essence requires a misuse of private information. The introduction of the Human Rights Act in October 2002 has breathed new life into this area allowing individuals to assert, like their European counterparts, rights to privacy.
In recent years we have seen a flurry of cases brought by celebrities such as Naomi Campbell, Catherine Zeta Jones and Princess Caroline of Monaco, all of whom complained that their private lives were invaded to an unacceptable degree and that confidential information relating to them was widely published.
Our team are able to advise you in relation to whether you have:
- without your knowledge, featured in a media publication or broadcast
- agreed to participate in a media publication or broadcast, but have been upset with the result
- had your employee or any third party pass on information about you that you deem of a private nature
Please call us on 0870 143 0970, to discuss your issue further.
