Cases

McKennitt v Ash (CA)

Comment

This widely anticipated judgment delivers a potential body blow to kiss and tell stories with A v B being sidelined in favour of Strasbourg jurisprudence. The weight given to von Hannover seriously undermines the media argument that its effect is limited to cases of press harassment. Both Buxton and Longmore LJ expressly stated that a defendant cannot deprive a claimant of Art 8 protection by showing the material is untrue.
