Murray v Express Newspapers plc & Another

Facts

D took a photograph of C, the infant son of the writer J.K. Rowling, being pushed by his father down an Edinburgh street in a buggy with his mother walking alongside. The photograph was taken covertly using a long range lens and was later published in the Sunday Express. C (by his parents as litigation friends) issued proceedings against the publisher of the Sunday Express and D for breach of privacy / confidence and under the Data Protection Act 1998. The claim against Express Newspapers was settled. D applied to strike out C's claim as disclosing no reasonable cause of action.
