LDRC Forum on English Libel and Privacy Law

May 11 & 12, 1998 London, England

On May 11 & 12, approximately 100 American and British media lawyers attended the Libel Defense Resource Center's Forum on English Libel and Privacy Law in London, England. The goal of LDRC's Forum on English Libel and Privacy Law was, in broad terms, to explore the practical aspects of English libel and privacy laws, to reflect on whether and how recent and ongoing legislative initiatives in the UK may modify or influence these laws, and to achieve a dialogue between American and English media lawyers on these issues and on the concerns English law raises for American and other foreign media.
