Press standards, privacy and libel - Culture, Media and Sport Committee Contents


Supplementary written evidence submitted by Max Mosley

  If it's not too late, and without wishing to burden the Committee, may I make a quick final point?

  The case for prior notification is simple, logical and irrefutable:

    — By definition, something ceases to be private if it becomes public.

    — The law requires certain things to be kept private.

    — The court has a duty to enforce the law.

    — The court can only enforce the law if informed.

    — It can only be informed by the aggrieved party.

    — He can only inform the court if he knows.

    — Therefore he must be notified before publication.
