Court Finds In Favour Of Mosley
For once common sense has prevailed. This court case posed a significant threat to civil liberties and the fact that the court has ruled in favour of Max Mosley protects those liberties for those who dare to live an unconventional lifestyle.
What people do in the privacy of their own houses should be their own business and this verdict has protected us from an increasingly intrusive and nefarious media, one that so often fails to exercise restraint and responsibility.
Mosley wins court case over orgy
Mr Justice Eady said Mosley could expect privacy for consensual "sexual activities (albeit unconventional)" and "...there was no public interest or other justification for the clandestine recording, for the publication of the resulting information and still photographs, or for the placing of the video extracts on the News of the World website - all of this on a massive scale."
Irrespective of Eady not calling this a "landmark" case, it still sets a precedence and proves that civil liberties are still valued by some in this country.
