REUTERS/ Toby Melvilleand other individuals alleging phone-hacking and other privacy breaches by The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday as the claims come "too late," the lawyer for the tabloids' publisher said on Wednesday.
Associated's lawyer Adrian Beltrami told the High Court in London the claims, some dating back 30 years, were outside a time limit for legal action, and that the judge should rule in the publisher's favor without a trial, throwing out the lawsuit. In written statements, the complainants allege they were victims of privacy breaches including the hacking of mobile phone messages, the bugging of phone calls and their homes, and obtaining private information by deception.
Harry has said he felt like he was under 24-hour surveillance, and feared an ex-girlfriend would be "harassed to death." Elton John said the Mail had sought medical records around the birth of his son.
