It is the first such group action of its kind to be heard in the High Court and will set a landmark ruling which may encourage other bankers to follow suit. Richard was quoted saying: "So far we are seeing bankers looking at advice in relation to their position, although they are not suing. That might well change, depending on which way the ruling goes."

On the same date that a complaint about pictures taken of the Middleton sisters in a private moment on a boat were published by the Daily Mail and a complaint lodged with the Press Complaints Commission, the Daily Mail and a group of UK newspapers published further articles complaining about the current state of the UK privacy laws.
