Giggs loses super-injunction case against Sun

A High Court judge blew the final whistle on “notorious” legal action launched by Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs against The Sun.

Giggs claimed the newspaper “misused” private information and said he was entitled to claim damages for distress and breach of a right to privacy enshrined in human rights legislation.

Mr Justice Tugendhat said Giggs’s claim for damages was unlikely to result in any “significant award” and concluded there was “no purpose” in allowing the litigation to continue.
