The U.K. Supreme Court says people who live in glass houses have a right to privacy too.
Justice George Leggatt said that the platform is visited by hundreds of thousands of people a year, who “frequently take photographs of the interiors of the flats and sometimes post them on social media." The court ruled that the gallery had violated “the common law of private nuisance.” Three judges backed the majority decision and two dissented.
Lawyers for the residents argued the 10th-floor platform, used by more than half a million gallery visitors a year, constituted a “relentless” invasion of residents’ privacy. They said gallery visitors subjected the apartments to “intense visual scrutiny,” with some using binoculars and zoom lenses to get a better look.
Gee, now they know how the captive animals feel in zoos... So sad, boohoo
Someone should have told them to pull down the shades when messing around!!!!
