- High Court
The appeal was dismissed because the District Court was not satisfied on the evidence that a communication principle was breached causing serious emotional distress, the complained-of content had been removed from the web, and Google (as a search engine operator) is not an online content host or IPAP able to remove third-party content or identify authors such that the s 19 orders sought against Google could be made.
