"In recent privacy cases, here and in the United Kingdom, the courts have identified autonomy as the value underpinning the legal recognition of a right to privacy at common law. Some writers have asserted that privacy (characterised as “freedom from intrusion”) is a necessary condition for the exercise of autonomy (characterised as “freedom to act”). Others have claimed that: [A]t its core privacy is concerned with ensuring that an individual may develop and maintain an integrated personal structure and identity, and practise an individual autonomy. Before considering the plausibility of such an approach two issues must be addressed: the meaning of autonomy and its foundation."
