Recensione:
Tugendhat and Christie's The Law of Privacy and Media remains a valuable and comprehensive practitioners' reference book with a particularly useful comparative element in international jurisprudence, elaborating on the principles of privacy laws in other countries. (Ursula Smartt, Entertainment Law Review)
... an impressive tome and an essential text for anyone working in this field. The first edition of Tugendhat and Christie has been the bible for privacy lawyers for the last ten years, and this latest edition will retain that accolade. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that the book is an improvement on the first edition. (Kirsty Hughes, Oxford University Commonwealth Law Journal vol 12 no 2)
The second edition maintains the high standards of the first and out to ensure this title retains its status as a work of unparalleled ambition and excellence. (Paul Wragg)
The Law of Privacy and the Media, largely written by barristers, is obviously primarily a book for practitioners. It discusses English privacy law in great detail, with a comprehensive treatment of all the substantive and procedural issues relevant to this rapidly developing area of law. But it can also be warmly recommended to scholars interested in the subject; it provides a stimulating introduction to the principles justifying legal rights to privacy and to their protection in common law and civil law jurisdictions. ...No self-respecting law library should be without a copy of this outstanding book. (Eric Barendt, Journal of Media Law)
