‘…a comprehensive guide to all of the many, often complex legal issues regarding famous people’s relationship and dealings with the media ... loss of privacy, harassment and media intrusion are particularly dealt with in the book and are recurring themes for those dealing with celebrities. To my knowledge this is the first book of its kind that deals specifically with this growing area of law and it will be a real help to many of us dealing and involved with the ever-increasing world of celebrity culture.’

It provides guidance on initiating claims and applying for injunctions with coverage of case law including Campbell v Mirror Group Newspapers, the Max Mosley case and the Hon Mr Justice Tugendhat’s observations on super injunctions in LNS v Persons Unknown.

Reviews

"A well researched and well-written book and I commend it to anyone involved in protecting and commercially exploiting the images/personality rights of all kinds of celebrities, including, of course sports personalities"
Professor Ian Blackshaw, International Sports Lawyer

"the book cannot fail to become acknowledged as the most authoritative reference available in those aspects of the law which relate to privacy, reputation, image and commercial exploitation of celebrities... its scholarship and topicality (as at January 2010) will certainly place it high on the ‘must purchase' list for all practitioners in this often complex, conspicuous and high profile area of law"
Richmond Green Chambers

"This no-frills practitioner text is a welcome addition to writing on this area...the text is up-to-date and easy to follow...this is a solid work which should find a place on practitioners' shelves"
Communications Law

"This practitioners' text is a welcome addition to a significant and growing body of literature. The book's unique feature is the combination of the expertise of three distinguished authors, and its coverage both of the substantive legal causes of action and also the press regulatory regime. There is a detailed analysis of the PCC decisions under various aspects of the Code of Practice, ranging from claims for invasion of privacy, harassment, intrusion into grief or shock and the use of clandestine devices and subterfuge. There is an equally thorough analysis of the case law....."

"The practical guidance and combined weight of experience of the authors is likely to be in continuing demand."
Entertainment Law Review

"A practical guide to the drafting and protection of commercial agreements in the uk. It is the first book on the market to draw together the different strands of the law, including privacy , defamation, broadcasting rights, sponsorship, and merchandising. Analysis of the law is supplemented with precedent contractual agreements and injunctions enabling practitioners to respond quickly to their clients' needs."
