A secret code has been hidden in a High Court judgment by the judge at the centre of the Da Vinci Code copyright trial.
Mr Justice Peter Smith took a leaf out of Dan Brown's global best-seller to hide his own message in the 71-page court document.
It emerged that italicised letters in the first seven paragraphs of the document spell out "Smithy Code".
Over the next few pages more letters stand out from the text in italics, but in an apparently random order.
The move to hide a message in a formal High Court judgment is thought to be unprecedented in legal history.
