Prince Harry v the Daily Mail: has this judgment saved press freedom?

from Law and Disorder

The judgment has been passed down in a case involving a number of high profile litigants (Prince Harry, Doreen Lawrence and Elton John among them) versus Associated Newspapers, publishers of the Daily Mail. Judge Mr Justice Nicklin dismissed the allegations of unlawful information gathering, in what is being heralded, by some, as a verdict that defends press freedom. For others, however, it will simply license further outrageous behaviour on behalf of private investigators and media organisations. To discuss this, the Law and Disorder team are joined by Charlie Moloney, legal commentator and co-author of McNae's Essential Law for Journalists, and get a dispatch from within the courtroom from Sian Harrison.Law and Disorder is a Podot podcast.Hosted by: Charlie Falconer, Helena Kennedy, Nicholas Mostyn.Executive Producer and editor: Nick Hilton.Associate Producers: Lulu Goad Hosted on Acast.
