the case judgment
|
|

the law of privacy in light of the judgment
|
|
- To what extent is
the press and broadcast media now more constrained in what they might
decide to investigate and report?
|
|
- A consideration of
how the law relating to privacy might develop in the future
|

Celebrity - Its
Uses And Abuses
|
|
Professor Robert Pinker -
International Consultant at the UK Press Complaints Commission
|
|
Over the past
fifteen years, complaints from
celebrities have accounted for only a small proportion of the total
number dealt with by the Press Complaints Commission. The great
majority of these celebrities have been legally represented. What do we
mean when we describe someone as a "celebrity”? What, if anything,
differentiates them from other high-profile public figures? Are there
any special considerations that have to be taken into account in
submitting complaints on behalf of celebrities and by the Commission in
reaching its decisions?
