 LONDON (AP) - Britain's top court ruled Wednesday that OK! magazine is entitled to damages from a rival that published snatched photos of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones' wedding.
A panel of judges in the House of Lords said Hello! magazine breached confidentiality by publishing secretly snapped pictures of the couple's November 2000 nuptials. Douglas and Zeta-Jones had signed an exclusive $2 million deal with OK! to cover their lavish wedding at New York's Plaza Hotel.
"Having paid 1 million pounds for an exclusive right it seems to me that OK! ought to be in a position to protect that right and to look to the law for redress were a third party intentionally to destroy it," said Lord Brown, one of the judges.
