Sydney paparazzo Jamie Fawcett has lost his bid for damages in a defamation case against a newspaper that implied he caused havoc in the private life of Nicole Kidman.
In the NSW Supreme Court, Justice Carolyn Simpson ruled that Fairfax Media, publisher of the Sun-Herald newspaper, had successfully defended the case.
Fairfax had argued the defamatory meanings in the case - including that Fawcett had behaved in such "an intrusive and threatening manner that he had scared" the actress - were true.
The judge ordered Fawcett to pay the legal costs of Fairfax.
