Book Description

Publication Date: December 7, 2006

The first edition of this work achieved acclaim by pulling together a disparate subject with no statutory framework into a comprehensive reference on the subject. This new edition updates its coverage, examining the historical origins of the action for breach of confidence, the present state of the law, and discussing possible solutions in areas of uncertainty. It also covers confidentiality in relation to particular professions, including medical advisers, bankers, employees and lawyers, and covers confidentiality in the legal process. New content includes coverage of cases under the Human Rights Act 1998, such as Douglas v Hello! Ltd, Venables v Newsgroup Newspapers Ltd, along with the Data Protection Act 1998 [Campbell v Mirror Group Newspapers], the Civil Procedure Rules and the increased use of mediation in the legal process. It also examines the General Medical Council's code of standards on confidentiality, and the Banking Code (2001) dealing with banks' treatment of personal customers * Clarifies what can and cannot be protected as confidential, and what can be classed as a breach of confidentiality * Demonstrates which relationships give rise to duties of confidence * Explains how confidentiality affects different professions and goes through the codes and rules that apply to each * Illustrates how confidentiality operates within the legal process
