A famous male celebrity has lost his High Court injunction bid against two media organisations to prevent the publication of allegations against him, but he cannot yet be named subject to any appeal, a judge has ruled.
Judge's ruling
The man, who had reportedly said he would end his life if the claims were made public, sought the legal block to stop the allegations from coming out. The court decision means the media outlets are now permitted to report on the matter, although the individual's identity remains protected for the time being.
Appeal possibility
The ruling leaves open the possibility of an appeal, which would determine whether the celebrity can be identified in connection with the case. Until that process is resolved, the man's name cannot be disclosed.
