| | |  Appeal refused in Big Pictures & J.K. Rowling privacy case
In 2006 J.K. Rowling won a case against Big Pictures and the Sunday Express involving the publication of a photo of her son, David (then 19 months of age). In May of this year a ruling was passed to ban the photos. An appeal on behalf of the defendants has been denied. Quote:
Hugh Tomlinson QC, who specialises in media issues, including privacy, said he was not surprised by the refusal to hear an appeal in the Rowling case.
"I am not surprised that the House of Lords refused permission because the way that the Court of Appeal dealt with the case was by saying that it should go to trial because it was fact-sensitive," he said.

In laymen's terms Legal terms are confuzzling.
Hey didn't RDR (or whatever they're called ) appeal their case also?
