Cases

Northern Rock PLC v Financial Times Limited & Others


Comment

This judgment shows a sophisticated approach both to public domain and public interest considerations, rather than the broad-brush approach that is perhaps too often used by judges who have limited experience of media injunctions and limited time within which to make their decisions. The public domain proviso extended to all publications down to the end of the hearing including publications consequential on the FT's coverage.
