High Court judge Mr Justice Nicklin said it would be an 'abuse of process' and 'bring the administration of justice into disrepute' if their case was allowed to continue in its current form.
Seven claimants including Harry all allege hacking by Associated Newspapers. But judge Mr Justice Nicklin has ruled parts of privacy case are inadmissiblePrince Harry, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Sir Elton John and others have suffered a major setback as a High Court judge ruled parts of their privacy case against Associated Newspapers are inadmissible.
The judge said the seven claimants who all allege hacking by Associated Newspapers – the publisher of the Mail on Sunday and Daily Mail – could take the rest of their cases to trial, rejecting an application by the newspaper group to have them thrown out. 'In a significant victory for justice and the Mail, the Judge ruled that the information should not have been used by the Claimants and must be struck out from the case. As Mr Justice Nicklin says in his judgment, this was an 'abuse of process' and if used, 'it would bring the administration of justice into disrepute'.
The Duke of Sussex and the six others – Sir Elton John, his husband David Furnish, Elizabeth Hurley, Sadie Frost, Sir Simon Hughes and Baroness Doreen Lawrence – launched their hacking case in October last year.
