Prince Harry and former Labour Deputy Leader Tom Watson are suing News Group Newspapers (NGN) for alleged unlawful information gathering. Their high-profile trial in London has faced multiple delays as both parties engage in intense negotiations. Initially scheduled to begin on Tuesday, the trial was pushed back as counsel requested adjournments, citing time difference difficulties. The judge refused a third request to delay proceedings further, emphasizing that they had ample time to negotiate a settlement. Both parties plan to appeal this decision as they persist in their negotiations ahead of a rescheduled court appearance.
At the 11th hour, with the trial having been due to open at 10.30am on Tuesday, counsel for both sides asked for two adjournments delaying the start until the afternoon.
Very unusually, both parties are in complete agreement that this is a very important step. Both parties feel they have no choice but to persist in this.
