Mr Justice Tugendhat ruled: I am satisfied that there is a serious issue to be tried in each of the claimants claims for misuse of private information.The claimants have clearly established that this jurisdiction is the appropriate one in which to try each of the above claims.After Januarys ruling a Google spokeswoman said: A case almost identical to this one was dismissed in its entirety three months ago in the US. We still dont think that this case meets the standards required in the UK for it to go to trial, and well be appealing todays ruling.Dan Tench, a partner at law firm Olswang, who is representing the claimants in the case, said in a statement: The Court of Appeal hearing will decide whether British consumers actually have any right to hold Google to account in this country.This is the appropriate forum for this case - here in England where the consumers used the internet and where they have a right to privacy.
