Subject: Invasion of Privacy

Dear Colleagues,

The new H.L. case of Wainwright v. Home Office (see http://www.publications.parliament.uk/ pa/ld200203/ldjudgmt/jd031016/wain-1.htm) deals with whether the common law should recognize a tort of invasion of privacy or extend the principle in Wilkinson v Downton [1897] 2 QB 57 to deal with, on the facts of the case, unauthorized strip searches of prison visitors.

Sincerely,

--
