February Retrospective

Top Ten of my blog postings over last month were:
 
Free Speech in Jersey, 14 Feb 2014
 
http://tonymusings.blogspot.com/2014/02/free-speech-in-jersey.html
 
"I understand that in the present case the Data Protection Commissioner has indicated that she considers it to be likely that similar cases to the present may arise in future and that guidance from the Court as to the approach to be adopted would be welcome." (Court Judgement on Stuart Syvret's Blog)
 
This highlighted the way in which free speech, whether Hansard transcripts, or the Data Protection Case against Stuart Syvret were eroding freedom of speech in ways which sidestepped Parliamentary privilege, in the one case, and the proper route by the laws on defamation, on the other.
