The Court of Appeal justice has decided to allow the celebrity, who tried to gag the British press from reporting on his extra-marital “threesome,” to remain anonymous by rejecting a controversial injunction – pending an immediate appeal to the Supreme Court.
According to the Court of Appeal decision, the tabloid newspaper’s requested to end the gagging order because of the fact that the well-known personality and his famous partner have been named across the world. However, lawyers of the celebrity, only being referred as ‘PJS’ in the UK newspapers, explained that they wanted to launch a further appeal. Therefore, the names of the celebrities will remain a secret until at least Wednesday.
According to the ruling of Lord Justice Jackson, in the Appeal Court, the amount of information that had emerged overseas and online had “substantially affected” the balance he had considered earlier this year. It was explained that “knowledge of the relevant matters is now so widespread that confidentiality has probably been lost,” adding that “much of the harm which the injunction was intended to prevent has already occurred.” Furthermore, the judge pointed out that “the relatives, friends and business contacts of PJS and YMA all know perfectly well what it is alleged that PJS has been doing.” The judge explained that “the court should not make orders which are ineffective. It is in my view inappropriate (some may use a stronger term) for the court to ban people from saying that which is common knowledge.”
