BUYING SILENCE

David Hooper

This timely and important work focuses on SLAPP cases - Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation lawsuits that are designed to censor intimidate, and silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defence until they abandon the case. Veteran media lawyer David Hooper addresses the overlooked and under-considered area of the law, that allows lawyers to profit by charging vast fees for billable hours from Oligarchs and other high-net-worth individuals and dives into the murky world of private information and vague 'handshake agreements' that often make up these cases.
