Max Mosley had filed suit in a French court to have the News of the World(NOW) article removed from the internet. French privacy laws are much tougher than British laws and Max apparently thought he could get a favorable ruling that would set a precedent for his legal action against NOW The ruling stated that access to British news sites via the web is not grounds for French law as it is a British site and the French legal system has no jurisdiction there. The Court did rule that local French newspapers must recall issues that carried photos of the affair and a fine would be levied to organizations who did not comply with the recall.
All of this to say that Max is finding little help in constructing his legal case against NOW.
