Cases

Theakston v MGN Limited

Facts

The Claimant, Jamie Theakston, was photographed without his consent whilst in a brothel in Mayfair. He had been drinking with friends that night, and could not remember much of what happened whilst at the brothel. He received various text messages on his mobile telephone over the few weeks following his visit in which he was told that the prostitutes would go to the press with photographs of him whilst at the brothel unless he paid them money. The prostitutes took their story to the Sunday People, and the injunction sought to prevent publication both of the details of the Claimant's activities whilst in the brothel and the photographs which were taken there without his consent.
