This report deals with two important, but competing, interests: on the one hand individual honour, reputation and dignity, on the other hand freedom of expression and access to information on public affairs. In Australia the balance between these two interests is struck principally by State and Territorial defamation laws. These are partly contained in statutes, and partly in judge-made rules of common law. The laws are complex and conflict from one part of the country to another. The present report proposes a new law dealing with defamation and the infringement of privacy by publication: an 'unfair publication' law.

This new addition to Hart's acclaimed Landmark Cases series is a diverse and engaging edited collection bringing together eminent commentators from the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, to analyse cases of enduring significance to privacy law. The book tackles the conceptual nature of privacy in its various guises, from data protection, to misuse of private information, and intrusion into seclusion. It explores the practical issues arising from questions about the threshold of actionability, the function of remedies, and the nature of damages. The cases selected are predominantly English but include cases from the United States (because of the formative influence of United States' privacy jurisprudence on the development of privacy law), Australia, Canada, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and the European Court of Human Rights. Each chapter considers the reception and application (and, in some instances, rejection) outside of the jurisdiction where the case was decided.
