[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 957917, member: 73144"] [USER=72205]@ncurd[/USER], agreed in principle although revealing health matters without consent has always been a big data protection no-no. We don’t know exactly how the story reached the press, but if there is a legal angle I’m sure some very good lawyers would be more than happy to help out Thomas. One argument I’ve heard for running the Stokes story is that it’s fine as its all in the public domain anyway......in my book there’s a big difference between legal and ethical with tabloids only understanding one of those concepts. The family member who co-operated is going to be off a lot of Christmas card lists. [/QUOTE]
