| At the High Court, Mr Justice Eady did not make the unprecedented award of punitive - rather than compensatory - damages that had been sought by Mr Mosley. | |
| He says his life has been devastated by the News of the World story and the posting of secretly-filmed footage of the sex session on its website. | |
| He told the court that the publicity had been "totally devastating" for his wife of 48 years, and he could think of "nothing more undignified or humiliating" for his two sons to experience. | |
| The paper's editor, Colin Myler, had told the court that he believed the story was one of "legitimate public interest and one that I believe was legitimately published". | |
| He also said: "We felt that what we saw, what we witnessed, was on balance a fair and reasonable interpretation of Nazi-style role-play." | |
