Terry v Persons Unknown

John Terry (previously 'LNS') v Persons Unknown [2010] EWHC 119 (QB)[1] was a 2010 legal case in which the Premiership and England footballer John Terry was not granted a super-injunction to prevent the tabloid newspaper the News of the World publishing a story about his private life. The injunction was rejected in 2010 after the High Court ruled the primary purpose of the injunction was to protect commercial interests, in particular with sponsors.
