In the midst of JK Rowling’s US-based court trial, her court case in England (over a published photo of her son David taken in 2004) has gone in her favor. The BBC reports:
The agency photo - taken in November 2004 - showed Ms Rowling pushing David in a buggy on a street in Edinburgh.
The picture was published in the Sunday Express and the newspaper later settled the claim.
Judge Sir Anthony Clarke said: “If a child of parents who are not in the public eye could reasonably expect not to have photographs of him published in the media, so too should the child of a famous parent.
“In our opinion, it is at least arguable that a child of ‘ordinary’ parents could reasonably expect that the press would not target him and publish photographs of him.”
