Mirror newspaper's "human rights" violated

The European Court of Human Rights has found the Mirror's right to freedom of expression was violated by the "success fee" it had to pay when it lost a privacy case brought by Naomi Campbell.

hmmm.....that is quite bizarre.

Since when can a 'media entity' have any 'human rights' indeed. Does this not prove that the whole concept behind Human Rights is just way out of control?

No, this is a great ruling. It's the first bit of case law which starts to attack No Win, No Fee solicitors. It's a shame it goes under HRA legislation, but it's the only way to get stuff heard above UK heads.
