On why the media should have access to companies’ share registers

Section 26 of the Companies Act … recognises that the establishment of a company is not purely a private matter and may impact the public in several ways. It therefore seeks to impose strong rights of access in respect of very specific but ultimately limited types of information held by companies. Nova Property Group Holdings v Cobbett, Supreme Court of Appeal, May 12 2016
