"There is currently no freestanding right to privacy at common law." - this is simply wrong. In Douglas v Hello!, Sedley LJ said: "we have reached a point at which it can be said with confidence that the law recognises and will appropriately protect a right of personal privacy". 117.120.18.135 (talk) 07:30, 17 July 2012 (UTC)Patrick Bateman
- The lead section says "Historically, English common law has recognised no general right or tort of privacy" which is broadly correct. Privacy in English law is usually the result of interpreting past precedent.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 12:28, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
