Liz Hurley Testifies in High Court Privacy Case, Details Phone Hacking and Media Intrusion

The High Court trial brings to light allegations of unlawful information gathering by Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. Liz Hurley's testimony centered on the emotional distress caused by the intrusion, including the impact on her son, Damian. She recounted instances of phone hacking, surreptitious microphones, and stolen medical information.

Hurley also discussed her relationship with Hugh Grant, noting that his 'puppy dog eyes' convinced her to pursue a separate case against Mirror Group Newspapers, which she won. She emphasized that her motivation was not financial gain but to support Grant's campaign for press reform.

The case also involves Prince Harry and other high-profile figures, raising questions about media ethics and privacy rights. Associated Newspapers denies any wrongdoing, setting the stage for a complex legal battle.

The core of the case revolves around allegations of unlawful information gathering, including phone hacking and planting microphones, by Associated Newspapers.

Prince Harry, Sir Elton John, and David Furnish are also claimants in the case, alleging similar privacy violations.
