Court of Appeal rules DPA claim can be brought alongside defamation claim
by Practical Law Media & Telecoms
The Court of Appeal has ruled that a claim under the Data Protection Act 1998 could be run in parallel with a defamation claim. It also found that a claimant could plead in defamation for an imputation of disloyalty in certain circumstances. (HH Prince Moulay Hicham Ben Abdallah Al Alaoui of Morocco v Elaph Publishing Ltd [2017] EWCA Civ 29, 27 January 2017.)
NOTE: In July 2017 it was reported by the barristers’ chambers representing the claimant in these proceedings that the Supreme Court had refused the defendant permission to appeal; see 5RB website, Supreme Court refuses permission in DPA claim. (See details of Practical Law IP&IT and Media & Telecoms policy on annotating case reports.)
