A British judge has ruled that the Duchess of Sussex can keep her friends’ names secret while she brings a privacy-invasion lawsuit against a British newspaper.
Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.LONDON -- A British judge ruled Wednesday that the Duchess of Sussex can keep the names of five close friends secret while she brings a privacy invasion lawsuit against a British newspaper — but he chided both sides in the case for playing out their battle in the media as well as the courtroom.
The women’s names are included in a confidential court document, but they have been identified in public only as A to E. “Generally, it does not help the interests of justice if those involved in litigation are subjected to, or surrounded by, a frenzy of publicity,” he said. “Both sides have demonstrated an eagerness to play out the merits of their dispute in public, outside the courtroom, primarily in media reports," Warby said. “That approach to litigation has little to do with enabling public scrutiny of the legal process, or enhancing the due administration of justice.”
