Racing boss Mosley wins lawsuit against tabloid

LONDON - Motor racing boss Max Mosley has won a landmark invasion of privacy lawsuit against a tabloid newspaper story that alleged he took part in a Nazi-themed sadomasochistic orgy.

High Court judge David Eady says the News of the World must pay Mosley $120,000 in damages for the story. Mosley admits the encounter but says it was private and there were no Nazi overtones.

Thursday's judgment is seen as a key ruling in British privacy issues.
