The Duke of Sussex, Sir Elton John and Baroness Doreen Lawrence are among six people suing the publisher of The Daily Mail over alleged unlawful information-gathering
A statement released on Thursday by lawyers acting for the group, which also includes Sir Elton's husband David Furnish and actresses Liz Hurley and Sadie Frost, said they are bringing claims for misuse of private information against Associated Newspapers Limited .
Baroness Lawrence, mother of Stephen Lawrence, who was murdered in a racially-motivated attack in Eltham, south London in 1993, has also lodged a claim against Rupert Murdoch-owned News Group Newspapers, publisher of various titles including The Sun and the now-defunct News Of The World. It also alleges that payments were made to police "with corrupt links to private investigators" for sensitive information, that medical information was "obtained by deception" and that bank accounts and financial information was accessed "through illicit means and manipulation".
"These individuals have been the subject of public interest during the course of their careers and personal lives. While there have been a number of damages claims over unlawful activity at newspapers in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal - most of which have settled - this is the first claim to be brought against ANL.
News Group Newspapers has settled claims relating to the now-defunct News Of The World, while never admitting any liability over claims made in relation to The Sun.
