''NEJ v BDZ (Helen Wood)'' (011EWHC 1972 (QB) is a 2011 High Court case involving issues of privacy in English law. On 13 April 2011, Mr. Justice King granted an anonymised privacy injunction (often erroneously referred to as a superinjunction), preventing the publication of details of an alleged extra-marital relationship between NEJ (described as "a world famous celebrity" and "an actor, well-known to the public"), and BDZ, a prostitute who claimed to have met and had sex with the actor in Dublin in December 2009.

Its aim was to incorporate into UK law the rights contained in the European Convention on Human Rights.

In particular, the Act makes it unlawful for any public body to act in a way which is incompatible with the convention, unless the wording of any other primary legislation provides no other choice. It also requires the judiciary (including tribunals) to take account of any decisions, judgment or opinion of the European Court of Human Rights, and to interpret legislation, as far as possible, in a way which is compatible with Convention rights.

2011 British Privacy Injunctions Controversy
The British privacy injunctions controversy began in early 2011, when London-based tabloid newspapers published stories about anonymous celebrities that were intended to flout what are commonly (but not formally) known in English law as super-injunctions, where the claimant could not be named, and carefully omitting details that could not legally be published. In April and May 2011, users of non-UK hosted websites, including the social media website Twitter, began posting material connecting various British celebrities with injunctions relating to a variety of potentially scandalous activities. Details of the alleged activities by those who had taken out the gagging orders were also published in the foreign press, as well as in Scotland, where the injunctions had no legal force. In England and Wales, as in many other places, an injunction can be used as a gag order, in which certain details of a legal case, including identities or actions, may not be published. These were origina ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Privacy In English Law
Privacy in English law is a rapidly developing area of English law that considers situations where individuals have a legal right to informational privacy - the protection of personal or private information from misuse or unauthorized disclosure. Privacy law is distinct from those laws such as trespass or assault that are designed to protect physical privacy. Such laws are generally considered as part of criminal law or the law of tort. Historically, English common law has recognized no general right or tort of privacy, and offered only limited protection through the doctrine of breach of confidence and a "piecemeal" collection of related legislation on topics like harassment and data protection. The introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998 incorporated into English law the European Convention on Human Rights. Article 8.1 of the ECHR provided an explicit right to respect for a private life. The Convention also requires the judiciary to "have regard" to the Convention in devel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
