Duchess of Sussex v Associated Newspapers Ltd
[2020] EWHC 1058 (Ch)
Key Principle
On an application to strike out parts of a misuse of private information and copyright claim, allegations that are irrelevant or unsuitable for trial may be struck out, but the core privacy claim (here, over publication of extracts of a private letter) may proceed where the claimant has a viable, fact-sensitive claim that cannot be summarily disposed of.
