Campbell v MGN Ltd (CA)

Held

Allowing the appeal, (1) Having regard to the admitted public interest the details of the claimant's therapy were part of a justifiable journalistic package. They did not add information of sufficient significance for its publication to shock the conscience or cause offence to a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities. (2) DPA s32 affords a publisher a public interest defence, which extends to the act of publication.
