Judge slams posting of video of elderly man in nursing home as 'reprehensible'

The president of the High Court has described as "reprehensible" the posting of a video on social media of an elderly man, a ward of court with advanced dementia, in a nursing home.

The filming of the man, arising from a dispute between family members over the quality of nursing home care he is getting, is a “gross intrusion” on his privacy, Mr Justice Peter Kelly said.
