What is the nature of the allegation of the misuse of private information?
The defamation and harassment claims are easy to follow, but I'm not aware of any misuse of private information allegation

I have no idea. I was surprised when reading the judgement at the time it was published, as I was unaware from the publicity of the case of there being a secondary issue. - As a general rule, the likes of Joey Barton are of little concern to me, but Mrs Justice Steyn referenced this early in her judgement.
Neither was it clear from her comments, who the defendant was.

It sounds like this is not all that he'll have to pay. Vine has tweeted that there still needs to be a settlement for a further 5 tweets judged defamatory.
''The news of Joey Barton’s apology and commitment to pay damages and costs is not the final outcome of this case. After five defamatory tweets, my lawyer offered Barton a chance to settle: pay £75k, plus my costs, and make an apology. He ignored that offer and posted more disgusting tweets about me, even publishing my home address to his followers. When I then took my case to the High Court, a judge ruled that TEN of the tweets I complained of were defamatory. Having lost, Barton has returned to the offer we made after tweet 5. There has therefore been a parallel action on tweets 6-10 and Barton will pay further damages for these. A number of other steps — including statements made in Court by way of apology — are still to be taken, and Barton has agreed to pay my legal costs of all of the claims.''

Does my post above answer the private information question?

Sort of.
I'm not sure publishing someone's address is a misuse of private information, but that would seem to be the fact of that claim

If guilty, the sentencing judge will be well aware of his form.

There are a lot of weird male supporters who still don’t like women pundits.
It was a novelty 10 years ago but now anyone who had an Issue with women pundits must have very little else to worry about.

An unlimited fine is also a possibility, and, IMHO, a very large fine would be a better solution. If the fine is large enough, it hurts Barton, and, we do not have to fund his prison stay. Win-Win

I guess the poor chap is jealous of her success on and off the pitch.
