UK COURT UPHOLDS 'CELEBRITY THREESOME' INJUNCTION

An injunction restricting English media from naming a celebrity involved in an alleged extra marital threesome has been upheld by the UK's highest court.

The Supreme Court ruled on the media blackout after the Court of Appeal last month decided that the injunction should be removed.

The Sun on Sunday newspaper had argued that since the celebrity's identity had been published online as well as in the US, and Scotland, the injunction was unfair.

But the Supreme Court has now struck that ruling down on appeal.

Lord Mance delivered the decision on the celebrity - known in court as PJS.
