Additional information: Our client was a successful, well known medical practitioner from New York. Our privacy lawyers were tasked with the removal of private information from a Daily Mail article concerning our USA based client. The private information included references to our client’s intimate activities as a private individual, references to his work as a doctor and other personal information including his name, place of practice and an image of his face. The publication in the Daily Mail had a detrimental impact on our client, including on his income. Our privacy lawyers succeeded in negotiating substantial amendments to the Daily Mail article including the removal of our client's name and photograph so that he could no longer be identified. We successfully argued that UK privacy laws should equally apply to an American Citizen. Our privacy lawyers resolved the matter without the need for our client to commence litigation.
