Abstract
Elspeth Christie Reid, PERSONALITY, CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY IN SCOTS LAW Edinburgh: W Green & Son (www.wgreen.co.uk), Scottish Universities Law Institute, 2010. li + 379 pp. ISBN 9780414016811. £120.
Personality, privacy and secrecy are highly topical in contemporary society; consider the Leveson enquiry, the grant of super-injunctions, and the relationships between celebrities, and the rest of us, and social networks. In this insightful, deeply researched and well written contribution, Elspeth Christie Reid, Professor of Scottish Private Law at the University of Edinburgh, reminds us that these do not raise entirely new legal questions and that there are (at least some) answers in Scots law.
