Podcast 3: What does arbitration have to do with the phone hacking scandal?

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. This is well known – less well known is the role arbitration played in resolving many of the claims which followed. Angeline Welsh and Guy Vassall-Adams QC explore the unexpected overlap between arbitration and media and information law.
