Douglas v Hello! Ltd (No.5)

Comment

Although Douglas v Hello! has done much to stimulate the debate about privacy law, Lindsay J's judgment proceeds to grant the Claimants their remedy using the existing law of breach of confidence. The treatment of the Data Protection Act claim will discourage future Claimants from simply adding a claim under the Act as a make-weight.
