right to image, privacy, right to publicity, public place, English law.Abstract
The article provides a comparative analysis of the property and non-property aspects of the right to a person’s image and the legal approaches in the jurisdictions of England and New York. Both legal systems have their own historical, constitutional and social foundations, and there are significant differences between their approach to images and case law. In particular, the elements of the “news exception” and the “public place” are distinguished by their own differences.
