Paparazzo loses defamation claim

Jamie Fawcett has lost his legal claim for compensation from a newspaper that labelled him "Sydney's most disliked freelance photographer" after his harassment of movie actor Nicole Kidman. Even though a jury found that Fawcett was defamed by the Sydney Sun-Herald an NSW supreme court judge ruled that the paparazzo was not entitled to any financial compensation because the paper had shown that he had behaved in "an intrusive and threatening manner" towards Kidman. He had also been guilty of planting a listening device outside her home. (Via The Australian)
