'Libel tourist' actress wins case against Enquirer

I didn't see this in British national papers but another case of libel tourism should be noted. Actress Cameron Diaz won "substantial" damages in the London high court last Friday for a National Enquirer story - which appeared on its website in May 2005 - that falsely alleged she had been involved in a "passionate clinch" with a TV producer. She was able to sue the US tabloid in Britain because, of course, it could be accessed here. The Sun also published the story, but settled a libel claim in July 2005. (Via Reuters)
