Inforrm Media Law Quiz of the Year, 2011 – The Answers and the Result

On 3 January 2012, we set the second “Inforrm” Media Law Quiz – 49 tough questions arising out of the Media Law Cases of the past 12 months.  Thank you to everyone who submitted entries.   Assiduous reading of the blog enabled many to spot the trick questions and the other pitfalls laid by the quizmaster.   After careful analysis of the answers there was again a clear winner – once again with an impressive 100% of correct answers  – Mr Benjamin Pell.
