The Christmas gifts keep on coming as the Fail publishes judge’s ruling in #MeghanMarkle’s legal win. 🎁

“The #DuchessOfSussex wins her legal case for copyright infringement against Associated Newspapers for articles published in the Mail on Sunday and posted on Mail Online”
I’d say this puts the kibosh on any Supreme Court appeal from ANL. But by running the statement at the bottom of the page instead of in a front page box ANL is testing the judge’s requirement for prominence. I’d love to see Justice Warby force them to print it again.
The judge required ANL to print a “short report” of his decision not an apology. Although Meghan won her privacy claim,admitting invasion of privacy wasn’t part of the required statement. The judge designated the exact copy & that it should be on the front pg in 17pt Gotham Bold.

Update: ANL lost their appeal in the copyright lawsuit vs. #MeghanMarkle. The summary judgement that Justice Warby issued will stand. Meghan won both the copyright & privacy claims. ANL can still ask to appeal to the Supreme Court but success is unlikely.
“The publisher of the Mail on Sunday has lost a legal battle to overturn a High Court ruling on its publication of a letter written by #MeghanMarkle to her estranged father.” independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
“Today,the courts ruled in my favor—again—cementing that The Mail on Sunday…has broken the law. The courts have held the defendants to acct,& my hope is that we all begin to do the same…These harmful practices don’t happen once in a blue moon—they’re a daily fail” #MeghanMarkle

“The gulf between what the public is being told about this case and its reality is so wide the two may be described as parallel universes, as was vividly illustrated by the hysterical scandal of the Duchess’s apology.”

👉🏾 bylineinvestigates.com/2021/11/29/the… Image
“So why did the Mail & its allies make so much of it? What do they have to gain from creating this parallel universe? On 1 level the answer is simple. They hate the Duchess & so the slightest embarrassment 4 her brings them a joy to be celebrated as luridly & loudly as possible.”
“they are up to something more subtle: grooming the public to think that the evidence is all on their side. […] In suggesting that the Duchess is bound to lose, the UK corporate papers seem to be setting their readers up to be surprised when, as is ultimately likely, she wins.”
