Hurley accuses Daily Mail publisher of covert monitoring in high-stakes privacy case
Elizabeth Hurley testified in a UK High Court privacy case accusing Associated Newspapers Ltd, publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, of covert information gathering including landline tapping and secretly recording conversations, and placing microphones on her home windowsill; she is part of a seven-claimant group alleging unlawful information gathering, alongside figures like Elton John and Prince Harry, while ANL denies wrongdoing and argues sources were legitimate; the court is weighing how the information was obtained and whether any claims are time-barred as the trial continues.
