Ruling in Prince Harry case against Daily Mail will take some time, UK judge says

The judge will rule later after hearing claims that the publisher used private investigators and other unlawful methods to gather information for decades.

  • Prince Harry and six other public figures, including Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley, sued the Daily Mail for allegedly using unlawful methods like phone hacking and private investigators to obtain private information between 2000 and 2015.
  • The claimants are seeking substantial damages for the alleged unlawful information gathering.
  • Defendants, including Associated Newspapers, deny any wrongdoing and maintain their journalists engaged in legitimate journalism methods.
  • Justice Nicklin cautioned that the case risks reversing the burden of proof and highlighted difficulties in proving or disproving unlawful methods for stories from two decades ago.
