Cases

Tillery Valley Foods Ltd v Channel Four Television Corpn & Another

Comment

This is an important decision for its rejection of the suggestion that merely engaging in covert filming (even if that was in breach of a contractual provision) did not render the footage confidential. What a Claimant must show is that something contained in the footage is really confidential, rather than that the publication or revelation of the footage will be damaging or embarrassing. The Claimant’s attempt to navigate round the prohibition on prior-restraint in defamation proceedings failed as did its attempt directly to enforce the ITC code provisions on fairness.
