Bryan v. News Corp. CA2/7
On October 8, 1995, the now-defunct British tabloid, News of the World, published an article accusing plaintiff John Bryan of criminal conduct. Bryan, who gained notoriety in the early 1990’s because of his relationship with Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, did not file suit. Nineteen years later, on November 12, 2014, the BBC current affairs television program Panorama aired an exposé of some of the deceitful and illegal tactics used by News of the World reporters, especially defendant Mazher Mahmood. Bryan’s story was included as an example of News of the World’s unscrupulous tactics. During Bryan’s segment on the show, the headline from the 1995 article appeared on screen.
