-8A A went so far as suggesting that the Chor couple sought publicity. He cited B C D B Woodward v Hutchins [1977] 1 WLR 760 (at 763H) in support. 25. It is common ground that the parties had not known each other personally prior to the episode. The idea of the interview did not originate C D from the Chor couple. The Chor couple was approached and agreed to be E F interviewed because of the friendship between Chor and Solabarrieta’s mother. The context was Solabarrieta’s graduation project at the university. E F On behalf of Solabarrieta, no evidence was adduced to suggest that the G H Chor couple or their family had any form of publicity experience prior to those interviews. The evidence also includes the email from Chor to G H Solabarrieta whereby he specifically requested her not to quote him or his I J wife in the Article (about golfing courses). The reason given was that they were not qualified to give their comments as professionals. In the I J circumstances, I do not see how the present case can compare to what K happened in Woodward (above at 763H-764A). L L 26. M N K No doubt a view would still have to be formed as to whether the plaintiff indeed sought publicity as suggested. However, I would be slow in forming that as the preliminary view of the matter for the present M N purpose. O P O 27. As to whether Solabarrieta’s intention to make use of the P Information for the development of her business plan had been made Q R known and consented to by the Chor couple or whether Solabarrieta had repeatedly assured the Chor couple that the Information would be used for Q R the purpose of her graduation project rather than any other purpose or S publication, the evidence of the parties are again in direct conflict.
