It has emerged that The Sun is involved in a third high-profile privacy legal fight – against a celebrity who wants to keep secret details of a legal complaint against him for sexual “misconduct”.

The high-profile individual settled an employment tribunal case brought against him by a former hairdresser in February. The judge in that case rejected a bid by the celebrity to keep details of the case secret.

Last week an Employment Appeal Tribunal sided with the original judge and ruled against secrecy. The star is now set to take the case to the Court of Appeal with the interim gagging order still in place pending a decision on whether the case can proceed.
