For a better part of last year the United Kingdom was wracked by the ‘Hacking scandal.’ It was discovered that reporters of the now defunct News Of the World had hacked into phone messages of scores of people including a dead girl, Milly Dowler. The ensuing ruckus forced the British government to appoint a commission of enquiry into the “culture, practices and ethics of the press in its relations with the public, police, politicians and, as to the police and politicians, the conduct of each,” in July 2011. The Right Honourable Justice Leveson submitted his report in November this year.
