How the right of privacy was viewed in the 1890s and 2010s.
The solitude
and privacy is more and more essential to the individual. They look into several case law about breach
of trust, confidence and an implied contract.
For example in the famous case of Prince Albert v. Strange, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert made
sketches as a hobby and showed them to friends and gave them as presents. Strange had accsess to
some of the sketches and used them for own porposes. The court held that this action is prohibited
and invasion to privacy.
Case of Yovatt v. Winyard, I J. & W. 394 (1820), where an injunction was granted against making any
use of communicating certain recipies for veterinary medicine. The worker had access to his
employer's recipies book and copied them. The personal writings and any productions of the intellect
are private and is therefore protected.
In addition they say that the right to privacy does not prohibit any publication of matter witch is of
public or general interest
