Jul.24 (GMM) The London High Court judge David Eady will rule on the Max Mosley privacy case on Thursday.
The five-day trial, brought by the FIA president following the British tabloid News of the World's expose about his party with five prostitutes, concluded last Monday.Numerous media sources have tipped a victory for Mosley, who is seeking compensatory as well as unprecedented punitive damages after the newspaper described the sadomasochistic session as a "sick Nazi orgy".The legal editor for the Daily Telegraph predicts a damages sum for Mosley in the six-figure range.The expected High Court decision coincides with new claims in The Independent newspaper that Mosley was "set up by (his) formula one enemies" in connection with the negotiations for a new Concorde agreement.The Independent also said that if Mosley wins his High Court case, "it is likely (he) will sue the newspaper in French and Italian courts".
