Cases

Paddick v Associated Newspapers Ltd (No.2)

Comment

This is the first instance where the Court has had to wrestle with the issue of truth/falsity in relation to a privacy claim. However, it still leaves open the interesting question of whether false allegations can be the subject of a privacy claim or whether in such an instance the Claimant can pursue only a defamation claim (with all its potential deficiencies). The case settled in December 2003 leaving the issue unresolved.
