They say the media group’s journalists or private investigators commissioned by them carried out phone-hacking on an “industrial scale”, obtained private details by deception and carried out other illicit acts to uncover information about them.MGN is contesting the claims and denies senior figures were aware of wrongdoing. It also argues some of the lawsuits were brought too late.
But further revelations in 2011, including that a murdered schoolgirl had been targeted, led to the closure of the paper and a criminal trial. Since then, MGN has settled more than 600 claims at a cost of over 100 million pounds in damages and costs.Harry says 140 stories which appeared in MGN papers were the result of phone-hacking or other unlawful behavior; however, the trial is only considering 33 of these.
