The seven individuals allege many forms of illegal information gathering were carried out on behalf of the Mail or Mail on Sunday. The allegations of illegal behaviour include voicemail interception, the tapping of landline telephones, the blagging of private medical records by pretending to be the individual in question, and even commissioning bre...
Each of the individuals is making similar but separate allegations of illegal behaviour by Associated Newspapers. Harry says they obtained information resulting in articles on his personal life, including details of his relationship and feelings towards ex-girlfriends. Doreen Lawrence alleges the Daily Mail hired private investigators to hack her p...
The claims of illegal behaviour mainly cover a period from 1993 to 2011. During this time Paul Dacre, who is in line for a peerage in Boris Johnson’s resignation honours list, was editor of the Daily Mail.

All the individuals work – or used to work – for the company’s newspapers. The legal argument was, in part, based on the Human Rights Act’s guarantee of the right to a fair trial – a piece of legislation that th...
Associated Newspapers is objecting to the cases on two grounds. First, it alleges that the claims are largely based on material that was provided in confidence to the Leveson inquiry back in 2011. These documents, setting out payments by the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday to private investigators, were then leaked to a news website, which in turn pa...
