CC v AB

Comment

This case provides another practical example of the difference between the law of confidence and the developing law of privacy. Recognition that the fact (and details) of a adulterous relationship might be known (or legitimately be told) to a number of limited people might undermine a claim in confidence, yet it does not defeat a privacy claim. The Judge's audit of the value of free speech - c.f. Lady Hale in Campbell v MGN - does not bode well for tabloid intrusions into privacy.
