Prince Harry, Hugh Grant and others are suing News Group Newspapers over accusations of unlawful invasions of privacy by its tabloids from the mid-1990s until 2016.
The Duke of Sussex and more than 40 others are suing News Group Newspapers over accusations of unlawful invasions of privacy by its tabloids, the Sun and the now-defunct News of the World, from the mid-1990s until 2016. "It has become increasingly clear that at least some members of the claimant group appear to be using this document as a vehicle for wider campaigning interests against the tabloid press," NGN lawyer Anthony Hudson said.
Murdoch knew about the allegations and the company's denial was untrue, Mr Sherborne suggested, saying it would have to have been approved by News Corp's board.In written submissions, the lawyers for plaintiffs said they wanted to include evidence from a former IT engineer that Brooks' computer hard drive was hidden away and possibly deliberately destroyed in 2011 to hide her knowledge of wrongdoing.
