Max Mosley judge gags disgruntled EG reporter

Barred yet again from Imerman v Tchenguiz in Court 13 [no I havent been "gagged" but "barred" didnt work as well in the headline].

Eady J was the judge. He also presided over the mildly more salacious case brought by Max Mosley against the News of the Screws over their story that he had taken part in a sado-masochistic sex session with five prostitutes.

There was an interesting article from the Sunday Times at the weekend, highlighted in Charon QC's blog, that talks about recent rulings of Eady J, the growth of "libel tourism" and a US backlash based on First Amendment Freedom of Speech rights.

Apparently lawmakers in several American states, including New York and Illinois, have moved to block the enforcement of British libel judgments in the United States.

The Sunday Times article is here.
