Khuja v Times Newspapers Ltd [2017] UKSC 49

One of the most delicate balancing acts that occurs within the realm of human rights law is between Article 8 (the right to private and family life) and Article 10 (freedom of expression) of the European Convention on Human Rights. In the UK this has allowed for the development of a common law right to privacy but how far can this extend when it interferes with the reporting of public legal proceedings? The issues in this case also raise wider questions about the allegations of sexual assault that are currently hanging over Hollywood and Westminster and these implications are discussed in this episode.
