Abstract

This report highlights the main UK copyright decisions in 2021. Most of these decisions deal with the right to communicate the work to the public in the context of website blocking injunctions, and provide insight into the British courts’ likely approach to EU-derived copyright principles following the end of the Brexit transition period. The report also discusses the high-profile case brought by the Duchess of Sussex against the operators of The Mail on Sunday and MailOnline for copyright infringement of a letter written by her to her father, which raised issues relating to originality and copyright exceptions.
