The case concerned the making public of images of the claimant engaging in sex acts with the defendant- these had been shared during a romantic relationship between 2005 to 2016 where the parties had two children together. The parties had a mutual understanding that the images would not be shared or published anywhere. However, the defendant then proceeded to share the images online, including those involving the sexual assault of the claimant. Also expected to impact the allocation of claims involving “trivial” breaches of data protection legislation, as the court made clear that the High Court was not the appropriate forum for these (see also Warren v DSG Retail Ltd above). Limits recoverability of After-The-Event (“ ATE)” insurance premiums which had been common for claimants in low-value data claims typically for breach of confidence and misuse of private information claims to cover their costs and to pressure defendants into settling (and in paying more money to settle) by having to factor in ATE premiums when considering their costs liability. Since it is no longer clear that ATE premiums will be recoverable in such cases, claimants will need to give greater thought to purchasing this (particularly where cases involve data breaches) which may reduce the number of claims in which this tactic is deployed by claimants.
