A welcome and overdue opening to care proceedings in court. The UK's court rooms have been closed shops when it comes to family and care proceedings. Over the years we have seen a catalogue of issues and questionable cases relying on equally questionable 'expert' witnesses. Mr Justice Jackson will provide his reasoning tomorrow but for today he ruled that private court hearing in protection cases could be open to scrutiny and reporting. More from Guardian here. Links to this post. Under Class 41 goods an...

The Sun keeps up the pressure to get bonking banker injunction lifted. Fair play to The Sun ( of course legal team) who continue to put pressure on the High Court. Or as it happens Mr Justice Tugendhat - to remove the rest of the discredited superinjunction that sought to cover up Fred the Bed, the Shred, the Banker, Goodwin's affair with a senior Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) colleague. Fred the bed's bonking banker - party to the injunction - has already moved to seek contempt proceedings. Endgame: Fred...

Today in Parliament - Time to get Hackgate into perspective. No Should they, in the circumstances have been better briefed/had more answers? Yes - given the questions they knew they were likely to be asked it would have been slicker of their PR machine to have equiped them with more detail for answers. Can one realistically argue (as some have - though not realistically or credibly) that a Rupert or James Murdoch would issue a memo to all staff that they shall hack to get headlines? It does seem surprisi...

MEDIABEAK: Hollande (alleged) affair could prove pivotal for French privacy laws

http://mediabeak.blogspot.com/2014/01/hollande-alleged-affair-could-prove.html

Hollande (alleged) affair could prove pivotal for French privacy laws. After headlining across the international media at the end of this week and in spite of real news events such as the death of Ariel Sharon, the story of 'scooterboy' French President Francois Hollande and the exposee by Closer magazine of his alleged affair with actress Julie Gayet is still newsworthy - but why? The French edition of Closer is no stranger to pushing the limits when it comes to privacy:. Similarly, when, also in 2012, ...

MEDIABEAK: Twitter trolls plead guilty over Caroline Criado-Perez abuse but is the law working?

http://mediabeak.blogspot.com/2014/01/twitter-trolls-plead-guilty-over.html

Twitter trolls plead guilty over Caroline Criado-Perez abuse but is the law working? Criado-Perez discovered that Twitter did not have adequate protection or processes in place to deal with such abuse and campaigned for change. Twitter reacted and introduced a single-click button to report abuse. Despite being targeted with sustained abuse from over 80 Twitter accounts there followed only two arrests in July last year. Twitter abuse and the law. Clarification that where a communication might constitute a...

Huffington Post bloggers in a huff - $105m lawsuit looms. A group of disgruntled Huffers (or Huffington Post bloggers - or former bloggers as the case may be) have decided they were entitled to a slice of the profitable proceeds of Huffington Post's sell-out to AOL and are seeking compensation for providing content to the site which they claim contributed to its value and sale value. The person behind the class action against Huffington is none other than Jonathan Tasini. Involving the New York Times.

MEDIABEAK: Big Exploding Rubber Duck in IP wrangle

http://mediabeak.blogspot.com/2014/01/big-exploding-rubber-duck-in-ip-wrangle.html

Big Exploding Rubber Duck in IP wrangle. Someone has to have a sense of humour (in this case Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman) if they think it's a great idea to create and tour a giant rubber duck around the globe. However this has proved to be one big bad duck as all has not gone well on the far east leg of its tour. You have to feel sorry for the big duck, which perhaps stressed by its IP having been violated, suffered a blow-out. When it got to New Year! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Media law re...
