Two authors who unsuccessfully sued the publisher of "The Da Vinci Code" for copyright infringement have been given the go-ahead to challenge their defeat in court. The Court of Appeal in London said Wednesday that it had granted Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh permission to mount a legal appeal. In a statement, Random House said it respected their right to appeal, but regretted "that more time and money is being spent trying to establish a case that was so comprehensively defeated in the High Court."
