A-G v Observer Ltd
''Attorney General v Observer Ltd'' () 〔(1 AC 109 )〕 is an important English tort law case on breach of confidentiality. It also raised questions of the interests of public policy and freedom of expression under the European Convention on Human Rights because it involved a spy's publication of secret information.
==Facts==
Peter Wright worked for MI5. After retiring he wrote a book called ''Spycatcher'', describing his work. This was in breach of the Official Secrets Act 1911. It was published in Australia and the US. ''The Observer'' and ''The Guardian'' published articles on proceedings in the Australian courts by the UK government to stop the publication. The Attorney General then sought and received an interlocutory injunction restraining publication of information obtained by Wright in June 1986. In July 1987 the ''Sunday Times'' published extracts from the book two days before its publication in the US. The Attorney General sought and was given injunctions to restrain further publication. But Scott J discharged them, holding the paper was liable to account for profits resulting from the publication. The Court of Appeal dismissed the Attorney General's appeal, and he appealed again to the House of Lords.
