It would be an understatement to say that recent changes to Hong Kong's data privacy rules were a wake-up call for companies doing business in the region. The strict new Personal Data Privacy Ordinance (PDPO), which came into force on 1 April, has banned companies from using personal data in direct marketing without getting consent from the people being targeted.

The past week has seen a series of extraordinary events arising out of a BBC Newsnight broadcast about sexual abuse in children's homes in North Wales in the 1970s and 1980s.

There is little doubt about the legal position: the publication of topless photographs of the Duchess of Cambridge by "Closer" magazine in France was illegal. The taking and publishing of the photographs constituted a criminal offence and a civil wrong.
