- potential harassment clause 4 - paticularly if the family had requested that the journalist left them alone as it was repeated attempts to gain information
- clause 8 hospital code has definetely been breeched as he did not identify himself and didnt grant permisson. this was especially inapproproate as the man was not in a state of giving information.
- whilst the claims of harassment could be seen as good journalism, it was probably a bit much to soon and wouldnt have resulted in any information being given.
- the public right to knowwould not outweight this as it is a private matter of an individuals health - it would be more suitable to gain info at a later date
