Back in court

LONDON: Lawyers for Catherine Zeta-Jones and her husband Michael Douglas returned to the High Court in London for the second round of the couple's damages claim against a celebrity magazine they say breached their commercial and personal rights by publishing photos of their wedding. Justice John Lindsay, who ruled in April that Hello! magazine breached their commercial confidence by carrying pictures of their $2-million wedding at New York in 2000, must now decide the level of damages. The ruling did not extend to a breach of their right to privacy. The hearing will also determine the level of damages to be awarded to OK! magazine, which had a 1 million pound ($1.62 million) deal for wedding exclusive pictures with the couple. The couple's lawyer, told the court Wednesday that Douglases are entitled to compensation not only for the damage caused to their commercial rights but also for their personal distress.
