Cases

A v B plc (Flitcroft v MGN Ltd)


Comment

The Court of Appeal sets out guidelines for privacy or confidentiality injunctions. However its reasoning in this case is not altogether satisfactory. Lord Woolf's "role model" justification for intrusion into privacy is not convincing and has been quickly explained and distinguished - see para. 40 & 41 of Lord Phillips MR in Campbell v MGN [2002] EWCA Civ 1373; [2003] QB 658; [2003] 2 WLR 80; [2003] EMLR 2.
