Cases

Campbell v MGN Ltd (CA)

Comment

In April 2004 the House of Lords, by a majority, allowed an appeal by Naomi Campbell. The decision is controversial. However, their Lordships opinions dealt with the cause of action in confidence or privacy only. It was common ground that the DPA claim stood or fell by the outcome of that. The Court of Appeal decision therefore stands as the leading (and so far only) decision on the scope of s32 DPA.
