Download or read book Refining Privacy in Tort Law written by Patrick O'Callaghan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about privacy interests in English tort law. Despite the recent recognition of a misuse of private information tort, English law remains underdeveloped. The presence of gaps in the law can be explained, to some extent, by a failure on the part of courts and legal academics to reflect on the meaning of privacy. Through comparative, critical and historical analysis, this book seeks to refine our understanding of privacy by considering our shared experience of it. To this end, the book draws on the work of Norbert Elias and Karl Popper, among others, and compares the English law of privacy with the highly elaborate German law. In doing so, the book reaches the conclusion that an unfortunate consequence of the way English privacy law has developed is that it gives the impression that justice is only for the rich and famous. If English courts are to ensure equalitarian justice, the book argues that they must reflect on the value of privacy and explore the bounds of legal possibility.

Download or read book Privacy Law in Ireland written by Róisín Á Costello and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-10 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides an analysis of the origins, current sources, and character of privacy law in Ireland with a particular focus on how to navigate privacy claims and balance privacy with other interests before the Irish courts. It clarifies the relationship between private law protection of privacy rights in tort and statute, and constitutional conceptions of the right and compares how European Union and international law impacts on the privacy jurisprudence of the Irish courts. Part One: Addresses the sources of privacy rights in Ireland, with an account of how the right to privacy has been protected under the European Convention on Human Rights and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, explaining the influence of the ECHR on privacy adjudication before the CJEU and outlining the trickle-down impact of the decisions of both courts on the secondary laws of the European Union, and national law in turn. Part Two: Considers the genres of privacy recognised by the Irish courts namely, personal, spatial and informational privacy. The chapters in this part consider the recent decisions in respect of data retention and privacy rights in Dwyer v Commissioner of Garda Síochána as well as the implications of the CJEU and Supreme Court decisions in the matter for criminal prosecutions relying on data retained under the now invalidated legislation. Part Two also considers the recent Supreme Court decision in DPP v Quinn which adds significantly to the jurisprudence of the Irish courts in respect of digital privacy under Article 40.5 of the Constitution, and has implications for the search of digital devices more broadly. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Intellectual Property and IT online service.

Download or read book Literature and Human Rights written by Ian Ward and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of human rights is not new. But the importance of taking rights seriously has never been more urgent. The eighteen essays which comprise Literature and Human Rights are written as a contribution to this vital debate. Each moreover is written in the spirit of interdisciplinarity, reaching across the myriad constitutive disciplines of law, literature and the humanities in order to present an array of alternative perspectives on the nature and meaning of human rights in the modern world. The taking of human rights seriously, it will be suggested, depends just as much on taking seriously the idea of the human as it does the idea of rights.

Download or read book Chinese Law of Personality Rights I written by Wang Liming and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of up-to-date, authoritative essays on China’s Law of Personality Rights, its impact in practice and its legal background. The Law of Personality Rights was enacted in China in May 2020, the first time that the Law has been legislated as an independent part of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, marking an unprecedented step in protecting the personality rights of citizens. As the first volume of a two-volume set that elucidates the theory, practice and codification experience of the Law in China, the book examines the basis for the Law as a standalone part of the Civil Code, its overall framework and the delimitation and formation of the Law. In terms of practical aspects, the contributors delve into institutional arrangements, the relationship between human rights and personality rights, and the relationship with laws on tort liability, as well as those pertaining to marriage and the family. The book will be an essential reference to scholars and students studying civil law, continental law, Chinese law and the legal protection of personality rights.

Download or read book Tort Law and the Protection of Privacy written by John Hartshorne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically the law of tort has offered limited protection for personal privacy using a patchwork of established torts such as private nuisance and battery. Until recently no tort was recognised in English law which was exclusively concerned with protecting what could properly be described as a 'privacy interest.' However, since the enactment of the Human Rights Act 1998 which brought about the incorporation into domestic law of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) this is a branch of the law of tort which has seen rapid development, with the judiciary developing a tort of 'misuse of private information' which is now capable of preventing and remedying violations of the 'informational' aspects of personal privacy. The possibility of introducing a statutory tort of privacy has been considered by a number of review bodies but so far no progress has been made in this area. This book analyses the extent to which the law of tort currently affords protection against invasions of personal privacy and the remedies that are available. The book considers tort law and privacy in other common law jurisdictions including the US, Australia and New Zealand where debates concerning the legal protection of personal privacy are also taking place. It then goes on to explore the potential for a common law tort to be developed which would be capable of offering broader protection for personal privacy and its prospects for statutory codification.

Download or read book The Crossroads Privacy Disability and Employment written by Enrique Opi Tufet and published by Europa Edizioni. This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Privacy, dignity, equality, and non-discrimination are fundamental values upon which the European Union was founded. They are firmly embedded in the Treaties of the European Union, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, and secondary legislation. Combatting discrimination in the labour market and protecting the rights of persons with disabilities are core obligations of the European Union. Not many are aware that more than 15 per cent of the total potential workforce of the European Union has some form of disability - of which over 50 per cent are unemployed. This is all the more reason for the EU to maintain its commitment to include these indivuduals in the labour force and to guarantee their fair treatment and protection of their particularly sensitive data. It is precisely in this light that The Crossroads: Privacy, Disability and Employment must be seen: a sort of driving manual for disability organizations. It will be important to collect, process and handle personal data and to embrace new technologies without compromising privacy in the process. This manual also provides the various stakeholders with relevant articles of the GDPR and other legislative texts to equip them with sufficient knowledge and useful tools to ensure and to successfully navigate the crossroads between privacy and employment for persons with disabilities. Enrique Opi Tufet is an “actibilist”, a term he coined some time ago to describe an activist on disability issues. He has an LL.M. in International Law from Vrije Universiteit Brussel and he is a certified Data Protection Officer (DPO) by Maastricht University. Currently, Enrique acts as a Regional Director of Inserta/Fundación ONCE in Spain, an employment and disability program funded by the European Social Fund. He himself has a visual disability and is therefore intimately familiar with the challenges persons with disabilities face. Before Inserta, Enrique was the Corporate Vice President and General Counsel of Epson Europe. Previously, he led the Brussels operations of two major worldwide public relations agencies. He has written a number of articles and contributions addressing environmental policy, sustainability and communications. Enrique lives in Barcelona with his wife and son.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book celebrates the scholarship of Peter Cane. The significance and scale of his contributions to the discipline of law over the last half-century cannot be overstated. In an era of increasing specialisation, Cane stands out on account of the unusually broad scope of his interests, which extend to both private and public law in equal measure. This substantive breadth is combined with remarkable doctrinal, historical, comparative and theoretical depth. This book is written by admirers of Cane's work, and the essays probe a wide range of issues, especially in administrative law and tort law. Consistently with the international prominence that Cane's research has enjoyed, the contributors are drawn from across the common law world. The volume will be of value to anyone who is interested in Cane's towering contributions to legal scholarship and administrative law and tort law more generally.

Book excerpt: Written by a select international group of leading privacy scholars, Social Dimensions of Privacy endorses and develops an innovative approach to privacy.

The broad interdisciplinary character of the volume will be of interest to readers from a variety of scientific disciplines who are concerned with privacy and data protection issues.

Download or read book The Campbell Legacy written by Thomas D.C. Bennett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004, a judgment from the highest court in the UK gave birth to a new era of privacy law. That case, brought by the supermodel Naomi Campbell against Mirror Group Newspapers, is today rightly regarded as a turning point for the protection of individuals’ privacy. The case is seen as the turning point in the development of English privacy law, and has also had major implications for the law elsewhere, including in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and Canada. The manner in which the common law’s privacy protections have developed since, and the direction in which they might develop still further, are the subject of this book. This collection, written by leading scholars in the privacy field from the UK and beyond, considers the legacy of Campbell’s case. The contributors address the Campbell legacy from a range of legal perspectives and discuss broader themes of power, metaphor, consistency, and technological change. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Media Law.

Download or read book Privacy 2 Volume Set written by Raymond Wacks and published by New York University Press. This book was released on 1993-05 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Library of Law and Legal Theory is designed to provide important research materials in an accessible form, each volume containing essays of central theoretical importance in its subject area. The Areas section of the series takes in the main branches of the law with an emphasis on essays which present analytical and theoretical insights of broad application. The present work is in two volumes, available individually (for $150) or as a set. The essays in Volume I, The Concept of "Privacy" (9264-2), represent some of the best attempts to elucidate the concept of "privacy." While a number of the essays proceed from an explicitly legal viewpoint, their major and in most cases central objective is to offer a definition (either for the law or more generally) of this difficult idea. The essays in Volume II, Privacy and the Law (9265-0), trace the principal features of the legal evolution of the "right of privacy" in both constitutional and tort law.
