This book investigates English privacy  protection. It analyses pre- and post- Human Rights Act 1998 case law to find  out whether the action of breach of confidence has expanded as it relates  to privacy protection. It compares English privacy protection to the  French privacy remedy and to Strasbourg decisions. It looks at whether  the current law provides sufficient protection; also whether the debate  about a separate tort of privacy is wrong, and whether the action for  breach of confidence should coexist with an independent tort of privacy.  The book concludes that as new technologies and  changing social behaviour have again redefined the boundaries of private life,  a privacy Act may be useful in consolidating the different doctrinal shifts  following the commencement of the Human Right Act 1998 (HRA).  It may also fill  the gaps created if the HRA is abolished and in fit in with the  new legal landscape. The analysis in this book should be useful to anyone with an interest in this area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783847372950\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Comparison of English and French Legal Approaches\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783847372950","offer_id":39491231776861,"sku":"9783847372950","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/a9a0e1c7-8466-4f24-81fe-c52e086707f3.jpg?v=1775195100","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/is-privacy-protection-enough-von-faustin-muyembe","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
