Almost every country
that changed its laws to
reflect the environment
following September 2001
increased the ability of
law enforcement and
national security
agencies to perform
interception of
communications, and
transformed the powers
of search and seizure,
and an increase in the
type of data that can be
accessed. This book is a
thoroughgoing and
exhaustive discussion of
privacy laws worldwide.
Book Description
The right to privacy, or the
right to private life, is at
the heart of individual
freedom and the right to be
free from arbitrary
government interference. The
United Kingdom, although
part of the European Union,
has privacy issues unlike EU
member states of Germany and
France, for example, and yet
the UK Press has much more
freedom compared to the
ordinary citizen.
This book (published in
2007) follows on from the
author's 2004 book titled
Civil Liberties in England
and Wales. Privacy is a
contemporary topic of law
and some might even say, the
hottest civil liberties
topic. The UK government has
before Parliament The
Serious Crimes Bill 2007,
one part of which will
attempt to establish a super
police database of all UK
citizens' information and
another part of which will
attempt to make the
interrogation of business
files on personnel a legal
compulsion. The UK
government also has The
Interception Of
Communication (As Evidence)
Bill 2007 before
parliament. It is therefore
fitting that the subject of
privacy is aired.

Other books by Sally Ramage
(Dabydeen):
While the chief subject
matter of the first part
of this book is the UK
steel industry, the idea
of the second part came
about because the
International Trade
Conventions and the
Customs and Practices in
trade are not found in
any one place together
with the English statues
which govern
international trade—an
issue which the author
addresses with
remarkable clarity and
insight.
Civil Liberties in
England and Wales is a
compilation of essays on
subjects that affect
British society today.
These essays reflect the
society of today and
comprise a good synopsis
of British contemporary
life.
A comprehensive
compilation in a single
volume of many UK
business and personal
issues such as contract
law, company law and
maternity and parental
rights. An invaluable
guide for both business
and litigation.
This book is an
introduction to topics
in intellectual property
law by the unusual
method of using moots,
mock trials, questions
and answers and essays.
This exhaustive study
explores the concept of
serious fraud and fraud
and fraudsters in
society, in the past but
especially today, and
covers pertinent topics
such as fraudulent
evasion, fraudulent
trading, terrorism
attacks through computer
systems, money
laundering and identity
theft.
This work explores the
concept of serious fraud
and the Serious Fraud
Office (SFO) agency
which was set up to
prosecute serious frauds
in 1988 in England,
Wales and Northern
Ireland, following the
1986 Fraud Trials
Committee Report.
In this valuable
contribution to an
understanding of U.K.
business regulations,
the author urges all
business people to know
their rights, have their
affairs in order and
learn the rules of
engagement as they can
be used to their
advantage.
