J.K. Rowling is making
her attorneys happy with all the lawsuits she's involved in. This one is over some paparazzi photos taken of her son when he was 18 months old. An appellate court ruling allows her to proceed with her her suit.
A British court ruling in favour of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has set the stage for a trial on whether the publication of covert photos taken of her young son violates his privacy.
The Court of Appeal says the children of famous parents have the same right to expect privacy as the children of parents who are not well known.
Today's ruling sets aside an earlier finding in favour of Express Newspapers and Big Picture, an agency that took the photos with a long telephoto lens.
Rowling and her husband Dr. Neil Murray took the case to court on behalf of their son David, who is now five.
So now Jo gets to testify in yet another trial. Unless it settles, of course.
