Course Aims:

This podcast aims briefly to summarise the development of the law of privacy up to Mosley and how it relates to Breach of Confidence claims, before analysing in detail what ratio can be taken away from Eady J's judgement

This podcast also aims to set out what test the courts will apply, and which considerations are now considered relevant or irrelevant to the balancing exercise between Articles 8 and 10 ECHR

Outcomes:
After completing the course you will:
  • Distinguish personal information from confidential information and when the two may overlap;
  • Understand the relationship between the new privacy law and the equitable claim for breach of confidence;
  • Know what justifications may be offered for infringement of Article 8 rights, and how they should be judged against public policy considerations;
  • Be aware of how Lord Goff's 'limiting principles' are to be considered in the light of the Mosley case;
  • Be better informed as to the level of disclosure that the courts are likely to consider in the public interest and which is likely to be gratuitous;
  • Understand what broad generalisations can be taken away from the case law and what test the courts are likely to apply.
