The Sunday Times IS BEING SUED by Ryanair would be a lot more accurate. I have just asked 10 people and all 10 of them take that to mean that the Sunday Times has been successfully sued by Ryanair.
Sue (v. t.)
To seek justice or right from, by legal process; to institute process in law against; to bring an action against; to prosecute judicially.
"Sunday Times sued by Ryanair" and "Sunday Times successfully sued by Ryanair" aren't the same thing at all.
