A Canadian woman won a lawsuit she filed against Google, after the Internet giant's Street View capture a shot of her partially-exposed breast.


The Montreal High Court ruled in favor of the woman and order Google to pay her $2,250.

The company, however, won't have to pay the full $7,000 demanded by the woman, however; the court reduced the amount because the image displayed on the website was blurry enough that her identity wasn't immediately discernable.

According to CBC News, the unnamed woman was recorded by a Google Street View car in 2009 when she was in front of her house checking emails on her mobile phone.

Her tank top had slid off when the car was sweeping the locale.

Two years later, she visited Google and discovered that the wardrobe malfunction had been captured.
