The case involves a celebrity couple suing Oriental Daily Publisher Limited and The Sun News Publisher
|
|
Limited for publishing indecent photographs causing distress. The court found both publications indecent,
|
|
as they prominently displayed half-naked bodies with gratuitous portrayals of the models' breasts. Evidence
|
|
on publishers' intentions was deemed irrelevant. The court excluded comparative evidence from other
|
|
publications. Orders were made in favor of the plaintiffs.
