摘要

香港隐私法的重点一直是使用和传播个人或机密信息,但无论信息是收集还是使用,个人的隐私也可能因不必要的观看或收听而受到侵犯。尽管香港法律改革委员会在2004年曾尝试引入两项侵犯隐私的侵权行为,但这两项法定侵权行为何时引入,目前尚无时间表。在包括新西兰和加拿大安大略省在内的多个司法管辖区,对侵犯隐居或独处的行为给予了承认。在英格兰,入侵侵权行为尚未得到单独承认,但Gulati诉MGN一案的裁决证实,在未披露或公布错误获取的信息的情况下,仍可以对滥用私人信息的行为判给损害赔偿。本文通过深入了解新西兰和英国的发展情况,探讨了在香港制定普通法隐私诉讼的可能性,该诉讼提供保护,无论私人信息是获取还是发布。

In search of a privacy action against breaches of physical privacy in Hong Kong
The focus of privacy laws in Hong Kong has always been on the use and dissemination of personal or confidential information, but a person’s privacy can also be intruded by unwanted watching or listening irrespective of whether information is collected or used. Despite an attempt to introduce two privacy torts by the Law Reform Commission of Hong Kong in 2004, there is no timetable as to when these two statutory torts be introduced. Recognition has been afforded for intrusions upon seclusion or solitude in a number of jurisdictions including New Zealand and the Canadian province of Ontario. In England, an intrusion tort has not been separately recognized, but the decision in Gulati v MGN confirmed that damages may still be awarded for an action for misuse of private information in instances where there is no disclosure or publication of the wrongfully acquired information. This article looks at the possibility of developing a common law action of privacy in Hong Kong which affords protection regardless of whether private information is acquired or published by drawing insights to the developments in New Zealand and England.
