Ashworth Hospital Authority v MGN Ltd

Issue

The Defendant Newspaper appealed the Court of Appeal's decision to uphold the judge's order and challenged it on the basus of the above issues. In particular, the newspaper criticised the Master of the Rolls' judgment on the grounds that it expressed the view that the chilling effect of an order on journalists was "no bad thing". The newspaper argued that this approach was wrong and turned Starsbourg jurisprudence on its head by detecting a social value in the deterrent effect of an order on other potential sources in the future.
