Abstract
This chapter examines the approach of the English courts, especially the House of Lords and Supreme Court, to the protection of personal information since the advent of the Human Rights Act 1998. The new action for ‘misuse of private information’ is analysed critically; its drawbacks and difficulties considered. The author questions the analysis of ‘private life’ adopted by both the European Court of Human Rights and the English courts, and proposes an alternative based on the identification and protection of personal information.
