Group of Celebrities take on the Daily Mail


Good to see the paper that spends so much of it time trumpeting law and order on the hook for years of criminal acts. Suspect that despite Associated Newspapers huffing and puffing indignantly what will happen is that they'll pay millions or tens of millions out to settle these cases, just like News International and Trinity Mirror have because they're terrified of any of the evidence coming out in open court, and settling gives them the fiction of being able to say they never did it.
 
Reading through the list of allegations, someone needs to give the evidence to the police never mind suing the newspaper. Paying police, fraudulently obtaining medical records, accessing bank accounts must all be criminal offences surely?

Hopefully celebs won’t need the money and will keep going…
 
Is this an equivalent of the US Class action? This would make sense in many ways rather than providing the DM with an out based on a technicality. Consistency on their behalf may just be their undoing.

I really hope it folds but read the bottom lines
Another example of their hypocrisy love exposing other people but injunctions on their misdemeanours

The newspaper group is also facing the costs of legal cases from notable individuals including Prince Harry, Elton John and Doreen Lawrence over allegations of illegal reporting tactics.

Lawyers acting for the Mail’s parent company have so far managed to avoid the claims being reported in open court, although a hearing on the cases is due at the end of March.
