Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Discusses how the democratic right to peaceful protest in the UK may be regulated or restricted by private companies. Examines the ways that the right may be shaped by the nature of private law itself, and highlights the corporate uses of libel laws, nuisance actions, private land law rules and statutory anti-harassment injunctions. Reflects on the consequences of the shifting distinction between public and private law, including the problem of protests being subject to civil law regulation, and considers the measures needed to fully restore the right to peaceful protest.
