Highly readable, with the editors and authors the Who’s Who of privacy law, and each chapter providing interesting factual or contextual background to what might otherwise be rather dry or complex legal arguments in the judgments … if you are interested in privacy and in the media, you will enjoy this book and come away enlightened and more knowledgeable, and on the look-out for further landmarks.

- Barbara McDonald, University of Sydney Law School, Gazette of Law and Journalism

This new addition to Hart’s acclaimed Landmark Cases series [is] a diverse and engaging edited collection of privacy cases over the past 120 years … The case book is a valuable reference for those undertaking privacy and data protection research at graduate and post-graduate levels and are looking for a scholarly approach to charting the history of privacy case law.

- Ardi Kolah, London, UK, Journal of Data Protection & Privacy

This new addition to Hart’s acclaimed Landmark Cases series is a diverse and engaging edited collection bringing together eminent commentators from the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, to analyse cases of enduring significance to privacy law.The book tackles the conceptual nature of privacy in its various guises, from data protection, to misuse of private information, and intrusion into seclusion. It explores the practical issues arising from questions about the threshold of actionability, the function of remedies, and the nature of damages.The cases selected are predominantly English but include cases from the United States (because of the formative influence of United States’ privacy jurisprudence on the development of privacy law), Australia, Canada, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and the European Court of Human Rights. Each chapter considers the reception and application (and, in some instances, rejection) outside of the jurisdiction where the case was decided.
