The payment is scheduled to be made by August 28, per AP. The six claimants lost their High Court case in London after accusing Associated Newspapers of malpractice, including illegal phone hacking. The ruling came after an 11-week trial concluded on July 7, with Judge Nicklin citing insufficient evidence to back their allegations.",
