Cases

Nail v News Group Newspapers Ltd & Others (QBD)

Facts

In 1998 Harper Collins published a biography of the Claimant entitled "Nailed". He decided not to arouse interest in it by suing. In 2002 extracts from "Nailed" were published in the News of the World and the book attracted new consumer interest, selling about a hundred copies. The Claimant sued the News of the World for the offending article and, separately, Harper Collins for the editions of the book sold in 2002.
