Schapelle Corby's family win first legal fight against publisher Allen & Unwin Mercedes Corby. SCHAPELLE Corby's family has won its first legal fight against the publisher of a damning book which detailed allegations her father was a drug dealer who was responsible for putting marijuana in her bodyboard bag. Federal Court judge Robert Buchanan this morning awarded the convicted drug smuggler's sister Mercedes, brother Michael Jr and mother Rosleigh Rose a total of $54,250 in damages from publisher Allen & Unwin. The family sued the publisher for $300,000 for copyright breaches over a series of five photographs used in the 2011 book Sins of the Father. Justice Buchanan this morning ordered the major publishing house to pulp all remaining copies of the book and for any future editions to be printed without the images, saying Allen & Unwin had acted in "flagrant disregard" for the owners" rights. Corby's family said five pictures used in the book, including a picture of a young Schapelle on Santa's knee as a child, were used without their permission. The publisher claimed all the images were either given to the book's author, Fairfax journalist Eamonn Duff, or "the media in general" of use. But in his judgement today, Justice Buchanan found Allen & Unwin liable for misusing all of the pictures, adding there was no evidence either Duff or Allen & Unwin had made any effort to get consent from the family for the photos they had taken to be used in the book. "I am compelled to the conclusion that a deliberate decision was made, and agreed upon, not to make such an effort," he said. Justice Buchanan said Allen & Unwin's decision to keep printing the book, which had sold just over 44,000 copies as of March this year, could only be explained as a "conscious, calculated business decision" to flout the law. The publisher initially offered the family $10,000 to settle the case, but the offer was knocked back, the court heard previously. Mercedes Corby told the court the family "didn't really understand the media" when they first handed out photos of her sister, who they were keen to show as an average Australian girl wrongfully imprisoned in Bali. She said the pictures were later used in negative stories without their permission and in the book, which she described as a "disgrace" that had left her feeling disgusted. The family is also suing the publisher and Duff for defamation in the Supreme Court, although earlier this month several of their claims were thrown out before going to a jury. In a brief statement this afternoon, the Corby family said the publisher's conduct had been "indefensible" and it had failed to take any responsibility for its actions. We look forward to pursuing our defamation claims against Allen & Unwin and Eamonn Duff in relation to the content of this book. We maintain that it makes serious and false allegations about us which we believe will also be indefensible.
