Hugh Grant's lawsuit against The Sun tabloid to proceed to trial.

A London court has rejected an attempt by The Sun's publisher to throw out a lawsuit by actor Hugh Grant alleging that journalists and investigators it hired illegally snooped on him. The court ruled that a trial will have to determine whether Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers carried out unlawful information gathering that included tapping Grant's home phone, bugging his car and breaking into his home. The judge dismissed Grant's phone hacking claims on time limitation grounds, but the case could proceed on other allegations. Prince Harry's case against News Group is one of three phone hacking suits he has brought against British tabloid publishers.
