Julian Harris, Deputy General Editor, Amicus Curiae describes the proposals and the political differences being played out over the future of press regulation following the publication of a draft Royal Charter showing how a model based on the Leveson report might be created without using an Act of Parliament. The charter creates a “recognition panel” which would decide whether any new independent self-regulatory body proposed by the press conformed to the requirements laid down by the Leveson report.
