Duke of Sussex & Others vs ANL: thread 4

[bluegreygreen]

This is the fourth thread discussing the case Prince Harry (and 6 others) brought against the Daily Mail (Associated Newspapers Limited; ANL) for alleged unlawful information gathering (UIG).

The claimants are: Prince Harry (PH); Doreen Lawrence (DL); Liz Hurley (EH/LH); Elton John (EJ); David Furnish (DF); Simon Hughes (SH); Sadie Frost (SF).
They are represented by David Sherborne (DS).
The defendant (ANL) is represented by Anthony White (AMW).

The threads to date have been thorough discussions of the evidence (so far as we were able to obtain it), with posters giving links and explaining their views. We have mostly kept things civil by avoiding partisan discussions on specific Royal Family members, and trying not to be derailed from the topic of court proceedings.
The case has concluded and we are now awaiting the judgement from Judge Nicklin.

We have also included (when things slowed with the title case) other cases or discussions with a specific theme of free speech/press freedom, particularly when related to those with money or power preventing others from speaking.

One current ongoing case is that involving @GwendolineFairfax8 - some details towards the end of thread 3.
The case is in court this week and is likely to be reported on at the end of the week.

Yes, please!

It wouldn't matter if she'd got it signed in blood, bluegreygreen

I could easily believe that Harry tried to reel her in with promises that her costs would be paid, but if it comes to it and Harry's unwilling or unable to pay she'll be flicked aside as so many have been

Someone else suggested she might have proof of his promises and could use it to damage him, but what can she possibly say that's worse than what's already happening?
All she'd do is damage her own reputation, and since that's taking quite a battering already I doubt she can afford to

Same here - the discussions on this have been excellent and it's good to have it separate from the general noise about the ghastly pair

I can't see that there are zero costs in a no win no fee agreement.

Yes please to a new thread, whilst at times it overlaps it is about more than the Hams.

It doesn't matter whether Harry promised to pay her costs or not, he'll lie and say he never said that and it was the Briddish press twisting things.

Yes please to a new thread, fascinated about the finances on this case. I can imagine the DM won’t hold back in coming forward.

Maybe Hackedoff should pay for DL, since they were the ones behind her being headhunted for image reasons.

@bluegreygreen One more to say I would like an ANL case thread to be about that specifically . I think there will be enough to talk about without general H&M stuff.

Another yes please

Thank you all.

We seem to have plenty of posters who still feel there should be a separate thread for the ANL case, so thread 5 is here:

Duke of Sussex & Others vs ANL: thread 5

ETA Not quite at 1000 posts, but I do have some things to do tomorrow, so thought I'd better do it tonight!

Bit late but yes another yes for a separate thread to continue. Thank you.

The link to the new thread isn’t working….? Just me or a wider issue?
