Author J.K. Rowling wins privacy case appeal
LONDON (AP) -May 7, 2008 The Court of Appeal in London says children of famous parents
have the same right to expect privacy as children of parents who
aren't well-known.
The ruling Wednesday sets aside an earlier finding in favor of
Express Newspapers and Big Pictures, an agency that took the photos
with a long telephoto lens.
Rowling and her husband, Dr. Neil Murray, brought the case on
behalf of their 5-year-old son David. The photos in question were
taken when David was 18 months old.
The judge says the case should now go to trial unless it can be
settled.
