Wood v Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis

Comment

This decision emphasises the distinction between the 'mere' taking of photographs, and their subsequent disclosure publication. Where there is no, or only very limited disclosure, of a photograph taken in a public place it will be an unusual case in which Art 8 will be engaged. In the circumstances of this case it was strongly arguable that W could have had no reasonable expectation of privacy, given that he was attending the AGM of a public company as a media co-ordinator of a high-profile national pressure group.
