“A privacy injunction by the U.K. court of appeal earlier this year blocked British media from writing about the alleged affair of a celebrity’s partner — a move one tabloid is now calling a farce of justice, since the story has been published in the U.S.
The Daily Mail published a front-page article on Thursday headlined “Why the Law Is an Ass!” The Mail called the privacy law “draconian,” and accused rich and famous residents of the U.K. of hiding behind injunctions to cover up any potentially unflattering story.
Under British laws, public figures may face criticism in the media — if a public interest outweighs their privacy. If a court determines there is no public interest to a story about a celebrity’s personal life, an injunction may be issued to prevent the story from being published. In some cases, under what’s called a super-injunction, even the existence of a court’s decision may not be reported in the media.”
