Mosley v News Group Newspapers Ltd (No 3)
Facts
M, the President of the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile, the governing body of motor sport worldwide, was filmed engaging in sado-masochistic activities with five dominatrices in a private flat. An edited version of the footage was made available on NGN's website in connection with a News of the World article entitled 'F1 boss has sick Nazi orgy with 5 hookers'. M accepted that the events shown occurred but claimed that their disclosure infringed his right to privacy. He also denied any Nazi element. An interim injunction was denied on the basis that the footage was by that stage widely accessible. M brought proceedings for invasion of privacy.
