Madonna - court victory


18 December 2008

The High Court of Justice granted judgment in favour of Madonna on 8 December 2008 in her legal proceedings against Associated Newspapers Limited for breach of privacy, misuse of private information and infringement of copyright. The case relates to the publication of photographs of Madonna's wedding to Guy Ritchie in 2000 which the Mail on Sunday published on the front page and in a double-page inside spread without her consent on 19 October 2008.  
 
The amount Associated Newspapers Limited is to pay Madonna as a result of  the infringement of her rights is to be determined at a separate hearing in the Chancery Division in the New Year.
