Mark Warby QC
Profile
Mark Warby QC is a leading silk in media, entertainment and sports law. Over the years he has acted for and against all the national newspaper groups, and major broadcasters, national, regional and local newspapers and magazines and several Internet organisations (Demon, AOL, Google).
Claimant clients have included many well known figures from the worlds of entertainment, the media, sport and politics. Defamation, privacy and data protection are substantial elements of his practice. Mark is lead author of two key chapters in The Law of Privacy and The Media (OUP, 2002) and an editor of the forthcoming 2nd edition. He speaks frequently on these issues, as well as on topics relating to sports disciplinary matters, which also form a significant strand of his practice. He is a member of the Association of Regulatory and Disciplinary Lawyers and the British Association for Sport and the Law and on the panel of arbitrators for the FA Premier League.
Notable cases in 2008-9 include Max Mosley v News Group (privacy of S&M activities), Atlantis v L'Espresso (for Italian magazine, defeating corporate libel claims over minimal English publication), Murray v Big Pictures (for agency, defending J K Rowling's claim over pictures of her infant son).
Other notable cases since taking silk are Norfolk CC v Webster (opening up care proceedings to the media), CC v AB (privacy injunction against cuckolded husband), Fallon v Horseracing Regulatory Authority (jockey's challenge to racing ban pending criminal trial); Sir Elton John v Associated Newspapers (attempt at privacy injunction re photo); HRH The Prince of Wales' privacy claim against the Mail on Sunday; RFU v Tebb (rugby disciplinary; allegation of stamping on John Inverdale); R (Mullins) v Appeal Board of the Jockey Club (disciplinary decision; amenability to judicial review); Miller v Associated Newspapers (libel trial; successful defence of libel claim over criticisms of police officer's handling of investigation into false claim that the Hamiltons were involved in a gang rape); Al Rajhi v Wall Street Journal (bank's libel claim over alleged suspicions of terrorist financing); Re Angela Roddy (a mature teenager has an Article 8 right to sell her story to a paper); Lord Ashcroft v Attorney-General (privacy and data protection claims over government leaks); Naomi Campbell v MGN (privacy of drug treatment); Peter Butters v Jeremy Clarkson (dispute over book publishing contract).
