Prince Harry and others ordered to pay millions over failed lawsuit
LONDON: Britain’s Prince Harry, singer Elton John and other high-profile claimants face paying millions of dollars out of their own pockets to cover the legal costs of the Daily Mail’s publisher after a judge ruled their failed privacy lawsuits were conducted in an unreasonable way.
LONDON: Prince Harry, Elton John and other high-profile individuals involved in failed privacy lawsuits against the Daily Mail may have to pay millions of dollars out of their own pockets, according to a recent ruling. Judge Matthew Nicklin ordered an interim payment of £9.54 million from the claimants towards Associated Newspapers' legal costs, with the full amount to be determined if no agreement is reached.
The court criticized the claimants' conduct, stating it was unreasonable and well outside the norm. The ruling comes days after Harry announced he will move back to the UK with his wife, Meghan, and their two children.
