Terry judgement shows that there is absolutely no bias in favour of individual privacy
Fri 5th Feb 2010
Last week in Brussels the European Parliament held a hearing on the problem of libel tourism. The problem arises because of an apparent gap as to the appropriate court and the applicable law to be applied to cross border libel cases; a gap which appears to have caused some claimants to make a bee-line for the UK courts where apparently high levels of damages are on offer. The UK press has become increasingly vocal on this issue claiming it is having a chilling effect on British media.

"I hate to say it, but only one party leader seems to have grasped that, if you construct a system where unskilled people are worse off by taking a job than by staying on welfare, they remain trapped in poverty - and that is Nick Clegg. "

"It's unbelievable that the Tories are still planning to cut taxes for a handful of millionaires when the majority of people across the country are feeling the squeeze. We need fair tax cuts that put money back in the pockets of ordinary people. The Tory sums simply do not stack up. It is irresponsible and highly misleading for George Osborne to continue to pretend that they do. "
