"Ultimately, the complainant had consented to be interviewed by the newspaper in order to promote her work; the manner in which the newspaper then presented that interview did not raise a breach of Clause 11 of the Code."

Connie's solicitors said that an interview was arranged with her with the express condition that a photograph of her was not to be used.

When the article appeared she recalled no discussion about her previous career during the interview and therefore thought that the article had been obtained through misrepresentation.

She also argued that the article was inaccurate when it stated that "like many an actor before her, she has found solace in therapy", giving the false impression that the actress had emotional issues which had needed to be addressed.

The Camden New Journal stated that it had not used misrepresentation in order to interview the complainant nor did it obtain any photographs through subterfuge. It had telephoned her to request an interview and indicated that it would be very difficult not to mention her past career.

According to the newspaper, the complainant agreed that her former career could help in attracting publicity for the group. It said that readers would not have formed the impression that the complainant had spoken about her past activities since the article made clear that she did not wish to talk about such matters nor have her photograph taken.

And with regard to the alleged inaccuracy, the newspaper said that the text of the article made clear that the complainant "found solace in therapy - but as a practitioner not a patient" and that this was not misleading.
