Judge rejects Sun publisher’s bid to delay Prince Harry phone-hacking case

Lawyers for Harry and other claimants argued trial delay to examine timing of claims would be highly disruptive'

Prince Harry has won the latest bout of his long-running legal battle with the publisher of the Sun after a high court judge rejected an application to delay the trial.

News Group Newspapers (NGN) had applied to push back the trial for alleged unlawful information gathering - which is scheduled for January next year - to allow the court to examine whether claims of unlawful news gathering by Harry and 41 others were brought too late.
