Another judge is currently weighing whether to award Harry damages against the publisher of the Daily Mirror for using skulduggery to dig up dirt on his life. Claimants spent 1.7 million ($2.1 million) pounds to prevail against the publisher's failed attempt to get the case dismissed, Sherborne said. The publisher is seeking up to 755,000 pounds ($945,000) in fees used to successfully block the use of the evidence from the Leveson inquiry. Other parties to the case are actor Sadie Frost, Elton John’s husband, David Furnish, anti-racism advocate Doreen Lawrence and former politician Simon Hughes.

LONDON, March 30 (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Harry returned to the High Court in London on Thursday where his lawyer was fighting an attempt by a newspaper publisher to throw out his and other high-profile figures' lawsuit which alleged widespread unlawful acts by journalists. Harry, the singer Elton John and five other high-profile people are suing publisher Associated Newspapers, alleging they were the victims of phone-hacking and other serious privacy breaches by journalists from the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday or private investigators working on their behalf. The publisher's lawyer Adrian Beltrami told the court on Wednesday the claims were rejected "in their entirety". The judge, Matthew Nicklin, is not expected to rule for some weeks on whether the case should proceed to trial. During an exchange with Sherborne, he suggested that if it did, it would be a "massive trial" which would last a "substantial period of time".
Harry, the singer Elton John and five other high-profile people are suing publisher Associated Newspapers, alleging they were the victims of "numerous unlawful acts" carried out by the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday journalists or private investigators working on the titles' behalf. "The claims are rejected by the defendant in their entirety," Beltrami told the court, which began the four-day preliminary hearing on Monday. Harry has said he felt like he was under 24-hour surveillance, and feared an ex-girlfriend would be "harassed to death". Elton John said the Mail had sought medical records around the birth of his son. In his argument, Associated's Beltrami said those involved could have discovered their claims years earlier, adding they were now "far too late".
