LONDON — A debate over press freedom, the right to privacy and the validity of nondisclosure agreements has erupted in Britain in recent days after a court upheld an injunction barring The Daily Telegraph from publishing accusations of misconduct against a British businessman, Sir Philip Green.

The court on Tuesday ordered a speedy trial to determine whether the nondisclosure agreements involved could be broken and said The Telegraph would have to hold off until then. The next day the newspaper ran a front-page story with the headline “The British #MeToo Scandal Which Cannot Be Revealed.”

On Thursday, Peter Hain, a member of the House of Lords, revealed the subject of the accusations as Mr. Green, putting his name into the public domain. Here are some questions raised by discussion of the case this week.

On Saturday, Mr. Green vowed to file a formal complaint against Mr. Hain, who responded that he stood “resolutely” by his remarks would “neither retract nor apologize for standing up for human rights,” according to local news reports.
