This podcast considers the high profile phone hacking scandal, which shocked and fascinated the British public and brought down one of the UK’s leading newspapers, The News of the World.

Angeline Welsh and Guy Vassall-Adams QC explore the unexpected overlap between arbitration and media and information law.
