Is there a constitutional right of privacy in the privacy of a plaintiff in a civil case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Miller v. National Broadcasting Co., 187 Cal.App.3d 1463, 232 Cal.Rptr. 668 (Cal. App. 1986):

Defendants are not alone in enjoying some constitutional protection for their pursuits. Individual ordinary citizens also enjoy certain protections, one of which is to be left alone in their own homes except under carefully proscribed circumstances. As Gallela v. Onassis, supra, 353 F.Supp. 196, observed, the individual's right to be let alone permeates the federal Constitution in a number of different ways. "The Constitution itself creates a right of privacy. The First Amendment protects the right of freedom of association. The Fourth Amendment protects the individual from unreasonable searches and seizures. The Fifth Amendment and its privilege against self-incrimination safeguards the individual in a zone of privacy into which the Government may not intrude, and the Ninth Amendment provides that the enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." (Id., at 231.)
