JK Rowling’s lawyer Richard Spearman QC said: "This claim is not about the rights of adults, this is about the rights of the child."
JK Rowling is claiming that she and her husband Neil didn’t know that the photo in question, which had been captured in 2004 in a street in Edinburgh, was being taken and hadn’t agreed to it.
In June 2005, after the picture had been printed in the Sunday Express magazine, an injunction stopping further publication of the photograph had been granted, along with damages for infringement of privacy.
However, a High Court judge had said the law did not give celebrities "a press-free zone for their children" although JK Rowling was not happy with the judge’s ruling.
