Yeah, I read about that too. This isn't a 'binding precedent', which to my inexpert eyes means that another similar case wouldn't have to take the Beckham judgement into consideration, when deciding on whether breaking a confidentiality agreement was lawful. I believe the basis of this is another bloody celebrity footballer, whose case ended up in the Court of Appeal in 2002. At that time Lord Chief Justice Woolf said amongst other things, that it was for the person seeking an injunction to prove that interference with press freedom was in the public interest. Thank God for that at least. So on the face of it there's no reason why a disgruntled unlit match couldn't post here with all the gory details of how much Rawat charges for his little weekend breaks in England,how many bottles of brandy he can consume in one session, who supplies him with his double-O Morrocan, & how many times the sheets need to be changed when Monica is in tow. On the other hand, I wouldn't blame anyone who was privy to the low down dirt on the former Lord of the Universe, for keeping schtuum. As we've seen from recent events, the requirements for those inclined to go nose to nose with Mr.Rawat are: a) tough minded b) clued up c) broke |
