Court refuses to block action by ex-F1 boss Max Mosely

The British High Court has refused to block legal action brought by former Formula One boss Max Mosley over the continuing availability on Google of images of him at a sex party.

Mr Justice Mitting, sitting in London, said the claim brought against US-based Google Inc under the Data Protection Act was “not such that it has no real prospect of success” and should continue.

He said: “On the contrary, it seems to me to be a viable claim which raises questions of general public interest which ought to proceed to trial.”
