Review from previous edition Primarily intended as a practitioner's guide to the law, but it includes a consideration of comparative and international jurisprudence, as well as leading academic writing on the subject, in order to elaborate the principles upon which privacy rights are based ... the nearly 800 pages of the book cover surely everything readers ever wanted to know about privacy Media Lawyer ...a major work that is likely to become the main guide for those concerned with the development of the law of privacy insofar as it affects the media Computer Law and Security Report The book's most obvious attraction is that it brings together the disparate aspects of English privacy law for the first time, but it has a great deal else to recommend it; the authors outline often confused areas of law succinctly and clearly; they extrapolate creatively from other actions to fill the many gaps left by the privacy cases; and they illustrate convincingly the degree to which the 'new' right of privacy is already entrenched in our law Commercial Law Journal (2005; 247) An impressive, well-informed book. The publishers are to be congratulated in producing an excellent survey and analysis of the law that will prove immensely useful to lawyers, broadcasters, editors and journalists alike Ent L.R. 2004, 15(5) 167
