What findings did the High Court make about the Mirror’s publisher?
“Extensive” phone hacking took place at Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) titles over multiple years, a High Court judge has ruled, after a trial involving the Duke of Sussex.
In a 386-page ruling on Friday, Mr Justice Fancourt made a number of findings about the extent of unlawful information gathering at the Daily and Sunday Mirror and The People.
As well as phone hacking, this also included so-called “blagging” or gaining information by deception, and use of private investigators for unlawful activities.
The ruling came after a seven-week trial featuring a “generic” case about activities at MGN, as well as cases brought by four “representative” claimants, including Harry.
Here the PA news agency looks at the key findings in the landmark judgment.
