Britain's Prince Harry , Duke of Sussex, departs the Rolls Building of the High Court in London June 7, 2023. — Reuters picLONDON, April 19 — Prince Harry ’s privacy case has avoided a major delay after London’s High Court rejected an application by the publisher of Rupert Murdoch -owned British mass-market newspapers that could have caused stalled proceedings for two years.
A trial focusing on some of those claims, possibly including Harry’s, is due to begin at the High Court in London in January next year, but on Wednesday the publisher, NGN, applied to have a ruling first on whether some of the lawsuits had been brought outside a six-year time limit for legal action.Today, Judge Timothy Fancourt rejected that application for a preliminary trial, meaning the cases will proceed as planned.
Last July, Fancourt rejected an application by NGN to strike out Harry’s lawsuit, ruling the prince could proceed with some of his allegations about confidential details about him being obtained by deception, although his accusations of phone-hacking were ruled to be time-barred.Actor Hugh Grant had also won similar permission, but he said on Wednesday he had reluctantly settled his case with NGN for an “enormous sum of money”.
