Conference5RB 2010 (supported by Hiscox) will take place at a time when Parliamentary and world media attention has focused with renewed vigour on the balance to be struck between freedom of expression and the right to protect reputation and privacy in English law.

The conference will aim to distill the experiences of 5RB barristers, keynote speakers and guest contributors from across the media sector on a range of recent developments, provide a platform for informed expert discussion and provide enhanced understanding on a number of challenging areas through interactive smaller workshops and seminars.

Conference topics are likely to include:

  • Developments in privacy law and practice from Mosley to "super-injunctions"
  • Where next for costs in defamation after Jackson?
  • How English law keeps up with the challenges of internet technologies: search engines, social media and global news.
  • Reforms taking place in children and family cases
  • Masterclasses on core subjects: justification evidence & meaning, applications for privacy injunctions
