Author Description

Privacy Law in New Zealand is a comprehensive reference point for practitioners and students. This book has been written to provide the reader with a mix of both theory and practical considerations. Law students, and others interested in legal developments, will find the early chapters (covering the privacy concept and its status in the law; the interests with which privacy competes; the development of the tort; and the limited and piecemeal statutory protection of privacy) of relevance. At the same time the later chapters, considering the application of privacy law in various contexts, will be of use to both lawyers and other practitioners.
