The Joint Committee on Privacy and Injunctions, set up last July following ‘Super-injunction Spring’, has published its report. In the 59-page document the Committee comes out against a privacy statute and commends the approach now being taken by the courts. Controversially, it supports the ‘PCC 2.0′ approach to media regulation and suggests that, for the present, there should be no statutory backing for the new regulator.
The formal minutes of the Committee’s session on 12 March 2012 reveal substantial disagreement about the contents of the report.
