Media law

Office of Communications v Star China Media Limited

Ofcom's imposition of financial penalties for serious and repeated breaches of fairness and privacy rules was lawful, proportionate, and justified under Article 10 ECHR. The statutory regime treats standards and fairness/privacy breaches equivalently for sanction purposes. Wider deterrence is a valid objective even after licence revocation. Star China's public law defences are not excluded by necessary implication. The penalties imposed were not excessive or irrational.
