A court in London ruled on Tuesday that the lawsuit may not be extended to the then publishing boss Rupert Murdoch. The judge said the lawsuits against high-profile targets such as Murdoch and other NGN executives would not significantly advance the case.
“Culture of Impunity”
NGN welcomed the ruling. The publisher owned the revolver newspaper “News of the World”. The weekly newspaper was shut down in 2011 amid numerous allegations that reporters had hacked the phones of celebrities and other people.
The celebrities’ lawyers had argued that Murdoch knew about illegal activity as early as 2004 but “turned a blind eye” to the allegations while overseeing a “culture of impunity” at the publisher. Therefore, the case should be expanded following the publication of new information.
Mailboxes tapped?
Harry, 39, accuses NGN of illegally collecting private information about him by listening to mailboxes since he was nine years old. The publisher rejects this. The trial is scheduled to begin in January 2025. The judge ruled that the younger son of King Charles III. is not allowed to bring forward any new allegations from 1994, 1995 and 2016. However, he is generally allowed to change details in order to name journalists and private investigators and to make allegations of interception of landline voicemails.
Harry has long been taking action against the British tabloid media, which he accuses of spying. He was partially proven right and compensation was awarded.
