There is no free standing tort of breach of privacy in English law and this is where the complex nature of these cases comes into play and where Annecto Legal’s network of experienced solicitors prove invaluable.

When suing for invasion of privacy, you can investigate whether anything that was private and yet has been made public about you was discovered illegally, for example through torts such as nuisance, harassment, trespassing or defamation.

If it was, then you can sue for compensation linked to those acts, rather than a breach of privacy.
