Privacy, Defamation And The Media

Privacy, Defamation and the Media - Tips, tactics and trends in bringing and defending claims against the media

Introduction

The publication of the MOJ’s Libel Working Group Report provides interesting food for thought for those working in the media. The proposals in relation to the "single publication" rule, public interest and "libel tourism" have the potential to transform the way libel claims are conducted. In addition the Press find themselves in the spotlight with the publication of the Select Committee Report on Press Standards, Privacy and Libel and face possible tighter regulation. 

Butterworths’ prestigious conference is your perfect opportunity to discuss the effect of these changes in practice. With a panel that boasts many of the leading lawyers at the cutting-edge of the recent decisions and developments, you will gain unparalleled insights into the likely evolution of privacy and defamation claims.
