Jason is instructed by South Yorkshire Police in relation to a claim for misuse of private information, breach of Art.8 ECHR and breach of the Data Protection Act 1998 following the publication by the BBC that Sir Cliff Richard was being investigated by South Yorkshire Police and the publication of visual images of the search of his premises in August 2014.
