Another media lawyer argues that "The PCC code is...changing and being updated, but to me one glaring omission is the lack of any obligation to notify an intended target of the gist of any story prior to publication. This should be included as simple matter of fairness and decency but could also avoid costly mistakes for the publications involved. Maybe this should be the new clause 1 of the PCC code." And he concludes: "The major flaw in the regulatory system is that the regulators have no power to stop broadcast or publication. The only remedy is adjudication, by which time the information has already been published and the damage done."
