Leducate Explains: Bloomberg v ZXC
Suggested title: Leducate Explains: Bloomberg v ZXC decision
On 16 February 2022, the UKSC dismissed the appeal for the case Bloomberg v ZXC [2022] UKSC 5. As the Mishcon de Reya article below outlines, the issue in the case was “whether individuals under investigation who have not been charged with an offence can have a reasonable expectation of privacy”. The Supreme Court ruled in favour of ZXC, upholding that individuals under investigation do have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

The article should be 750 - 1000 words and should be an accessible explanation of the issue, in simple terms to engage 16-18-year-olds without a legal background.
NOTE: We have found that it is essential for articles of this kind to be written with limited legal terms, and to be clearly defined when they are used, to make them as accessible as possible. We would ask, therefore, to limit complex legal jargon to ensure that the article is easily digestible by the targeted audience.
Remember - The law can be scary, at Leducate we hope to make it as accessible as possible!
