This book is about privacy interests in English tort law. Despite
the recent recognition of a misuse of private information tort,
English law remains underdeveloped. The presence of gaps in the law
can be explained, to some extent, by a failure on the part of
courts and legal academics to reflect on the meaning of privacy.
Through comparative, critical and historical analysis, this book
seeks to refine our understanding of privacy by considering our
shared experience of it. To this end, the book draws on the work of
Norbert Elias and Karl Popper, among others, and compares the
English law of privacy with the highly elaborate German law. In
doing so, the book reaches the conclusion that an unfortunate
consequence of the way English privacy law has developed is that it
gives the impression that justice is only for the rich and famous.
If English courts are to ensure equalitarian justice, the book
argues that they must reflect on the value of privacy and explore
the bounds of legal possibility.
