Extremely interesting Veritas and indeed throws a highly needed light on coverage which has been muted to say the least.
This Pandora's Box will not get slammed shut - for the first time in ages, money won't do it!
..but there could be dozens of residual victims of the hacking scandal and this may be escalate into an enmormous class action.
If this lady looks like being successful then the firm she worked for may also sue..and so on down the line. I reckon News Crop are working desperately to contain this but will the spivs in Parliament support them or adandon them ?
(and unlike in many cases News Corp will be unable to claim under an insurance policy as what they did was criminal.I'm not even sure they could claim payouts as a tax deduction unless the matters are settled out of court. With the Murdochs holding a gerrymandered power of board-room votes but only being minority shareholders in News, it could be the beginning of the end of their power)
