The law protects privacy in sexual encounters, even if they involve infidelity. Public interest must be proven for these to be revealed.

Even when being investigated by the state, individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy, especially regarding the suspicion itself.

Being arrested in public weakens privacy expectations, as it becomes more visible. This may not apply in rioting or similar situations.

The right to privacy can be overridden if there's a compelling public interest. This could include the release of the suspect's name by the police.

CCTV footage of a suicide attempt was ruled a breach of privacy, highlighting the importance of protecting sensitive health information.

Pictures taken discreetly or with long lenses are generally considered a breach of privacy unless there's a clear public interest justification.

The right to privacy applies to correspondence, including mail, emails, and text messages. Unauthorized access is a violation.

When considering a privacy case, judges weigh the importance of freedom of expression against the right to privacy. They strive for a fair balance.

The public interest defence for violating someone's privacy is more likely to apply to people who are well-known or have a public role.

Previous actions of an individual can be considered when deciding if their privacy has been violated. Prior misconduct may reduce their expectation of privacy.

The media needs to demonstrate that they obtained information in an ethical and responsible way to avoid charges of privacy violation.
