Private Lives
As Max Mosley prepares for the FIA's Extraordinary General Meeting next week, his legal team have already begun legal proceedings against the News of the World in England and in France - with other European countries likely to follow. Autosport.com's legal expert, Thomas O'Keefe, analyses Mosley's case and outlines the precedents that will govern these proceedings
Max Mosley is no stranger to controversy, having literally been born into it on April 13, 1940.
When Mosley was less than 10 weeks old, his famous and aristocratic parents, Lady Diana Mitford and Sir Oswald Mosley - thought to be Nazi sympathizers because of Sir Oswald's British Fascist movement - were hauled off to Holloway Prison under Regulation 18B, a wartime defense regulation that permitted such perceived enemies of the State to be detained without trial. For the first three years of his life, Max's parents would be in prison.
