`Review of main work: Primarily intended as a practitioner's guide to the law, but it includes a consideration of comparative and international jurisprudence, as well as leading academic writing on the subject, in order to elaborate the principles upon which privacy rights are based ... the
nearly 800 pages of the book cover surely everything readers ever wanted to know about privacy.'

The pace of change in privacy law continues to quicken, and this book has all the hallmarks of becoming a standard work of reference in the subject. The publishers are to be congratulated in producing an excellent survey and analysis of the law that will prove to be immensely useful to lawyers,
broadcasters, editors and journalists alike.'
