Zeta Jones and Douglas await decision on Hello! privacy battle
Mr Justice Lindsay will be giving his judgment in one of the most publicised cases ever to be heard at the High Court, and which has cost more than £3 million in legal fees.
During the hearing, which covered six weeks, Zeta Jones told how she had felt “devastated, shocked and appalled” when she
realised that paparazzi had gatecrashed her wedding at the Plaza Hotel in New York in November 2000.
She and her 58-year-old husband had signed a £1 million deal with OK! magazine for exclusive coverage of the event after turning down a higher offer from Hello!.
Zeta Jones, 33, said she felt “violated” when Hello! published the unauthorised photographs.
She claimed the photographs were “sleazy and unflattering”.
The judge will decide if Hello! is liable for damages.
The couple are claiming £500,000 and OK! are claiming £1.75 million.
