Q
What happened
A
Newspaper published pics of supermodel Naomi Campbell leaving a clinic that dealt with narcotic addictions.
Triggered legal case which decided on if right to privacy outweighed newspapers right to freedom of expression.
Didn’t deny allegations that she was a drug addict but sued owners of Mirror that published photos as breached her right to privacy. Drew attention to clinic location.
Mirror group claimed had the right, under freedom of expression to publish pics as Naomi had previously denied taking drugs + was a public figure, it was in public interest to publish evidence.
