Cases

Martin v Channel Four Television Corporation & Others

Facts

The Claimant sought an interim injunction to prevent Channel Four broadcasting a documentary film featuring intimate footage of his day-to-day life. The footage had been filmed with the Claimant's consent, but he maintained that he had been promised final approval of any broadcast. Channel Four denied the Claimant had been given a right of veto, but said that because it did not intend to broadcast the film without first addressing the Claimant's concerns and giving him 14 days notice of any broadcast there was no current threat justifying interim relief. Although the application had been outstanding for several weeks the Claimant had not issued proceedings.
