☆ Prince Harry Settles a Case Against a UK Tabloid Publisher That Hacked His Phone
  + stars: | 2024-02-09 | by ( Associated Press | Feb. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +4 min
LONDON (AP) — A British newspaper publisher has agreed to pay Prince Harry a “substantial” sum in costs and damages for invading his privacy with phone hacking and other illegal snooping, Harry’s lawyer said Friday. Judge Timothy Fancourt found that Harry’s phone was hacked “to a modest extent.”The settlement avoids a new trial over 115 more tabloid articles that Harry says were the product of hacking or other intrusions. He recently dropped a libel case against the publisher of the Mail after an unfavorable pretrial ruling. He ordered the publisher to pay “common costs” of a general case seeking to show wrongdoing by the company. Mirror Group Newspapers said it has paid more than 100 million pounds ($128 million) in other phone hacking lawsuits over the years, but denied wrongdoing in Harry’s case.

Attorney David Sherborne argued that his case was “overwhelmingly successful" and his clients should be reimbursed legal fees because Mirror "advanced a fundamentally dishonest case." Attorney Roger Mallalieu for Mirror Group argued that it should only have to pay legal fees for the portions of the claims it lost. Fancourt found that Mirror used unlawful information gathering in 15 of the 33 newspaper articles about Harry that were examined at trial. Once those claims are resolved, Harry will be able to seek additional lawyers' fees. Mirror Group Newspapers said it has paid more than 100 million pounds ($128 million) in other phone hacking lawsuits over the years, but denied wrongdoing in Harry’s case.

☆ UK court dismisses 'deal' between royals and media in Prince Harry hacking case

He casts the suits as a mission to hold tabloid executives to account for lying and covering up widescale wrongdoing. He blames intrusive media for wrecking some of his personal relationships and causing the 1997 death of his mother Princess Diana. Overall, Fancourt said it was difficult to say whether Harry or NGN had won. "I do not find this is a case where it's possible to say one party is clearly the successful party," Fancourt told the court. In June, he became the first senior British royal for more than 130 years to give evidence in court when he appeared as part of his lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers.

☆ Prince Harry lawsuit against newspaper publisher set for May trial
  + stars: | 2023-03-08 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
LONDON, March 8 (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Harry's lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mirror newspaper over allegations of phone hacking will go to trial in May, a judge at London's High Court ruled on Wednesday. Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is one of several public figures whose lawsuits against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) will be considered at the trial. David Sherborne, a lawyer representing Harry and the other claimants, earlier told the court that Harry would be "the only witness" relied upon in his case – raising the prospect of the prince entering the witness box to give evidence. The wave of litigation follows the collapse of Harry and his wife Meghan's relationship with Britain's media since their marriage in 2018. Harry has since – in his memoir "Spare" and accompanying TV interviews – also accused other royals of leaking stories about him and his wife Meghan to tabloid newspapers.
