 A British judge ruled Friday that a lawsuit by Prince Harry, Elton John and five other celebrities accusing a newspaper publisher of unlawful information gathering should go to a full trial. The claimants, who include John's husband David Furnish and actors Liz Hurley and Sadie Frost, accused the publisher of the daily mail of paying private investigators to illegally bug homes and cars and to record phone conversations. Harry said the publisher targeted him and the people closest to him by unlawfully hacking voicemails, tapping landlines, obtaining itemized phone bills and the flight information of his then-girlfriend, Chelsea Davy. The publisher, Associated Newspapers, Ltd., asked the judge to throw out the case. Judge Matthew Nicklin ruled that the claimants cannot rely on the documents handed over to the 2012 Levison Inquiry. But he said the case can go ahead because the claims have a real prospect of succeeding. The other claimants are anti-racism campaigner Doreen Lawrence and former politician Simon Hughes.
