Mr Mosley also vowed to taken legal action against media organisations in France, Germany and Italy which published photographs or images without his consent.

"I am the victim of an unlawful act by someone else in the same way as I would be if I was mugged," he told the Sunday Telegraph.

High Court judge Mr Justice Eady awarded Mr Mosley £60,000 on Thursday for the "probably unprecedented" distress and indignity he suffered over the News of the World's "sick Nazi orgy" story.

Mr Mosley, 68, president of the FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile), said the role-play at a rented Chelsea basement was harmless, consensual and private, with no Nazi overtones.

However, former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey said Mr Mosley's privacy win over the News of the World set a "dangerous precedent".

Lord Carey said free speech had been the "first major victim" and the courts had created a new privacy law without public debate or democratic scrutiny.

In its comment page, the newspaper said back-door privacy law was a threat to freedom.

It said: "It is not for the rich and famous, the powerful or the influential, to dictate what you should read of know about. It is not for the powerful and the influential to run to the courts to gag newspapers from publishing stories that are true. The News of the World will not be gagged by the rich and the powerful."
