Canbury Press, United Kingdom, 2015. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 198 x 129 mm. Language: English . Brand New Book. The phone hacking trial was the prosecution of journalists from two of Rupert Murdoch s British newspapers, the News of the World and the Sun, for illegal newsgathering techniques. It was the climax of the new police inquiries carried out by Scotland Yard into the phone hacking scandal. For more than five years the News of the World had covered up the interception of the mobile phone messages of individuals from politics, showbusiness, sport, business and the law. The trial of its leading executives - which took place at the Old Bailey (Central Criminal Court) in London between October 2013 and June 2014 - became the longest concluded criminal trial in English legal history. This is the only book on the case. It lists the charges and legal teams, outlines the defence and prosecution case, and describes key moments, such as the testimony of Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson. At the start of the case, Brooks - a former editor of the Sun and the News of the World - and her friend Andy Coulson, also a former editor of the News of the World and until 2011 director of communications to the leader of the Conservative Party, David Cameron, stood next to each other in the dock. Alongside them were five others: Charlie Brooks, Mrs Brooks husband; her PA Cheryl Carter; Mark Hanna, News International s head of security; Stuart Kuttner; former managing editor of the News of the World; and Clive Goodman, the rogue reporter blamed for eavesdropping the Royal Family. They were variously accused of breaches of the Regulation of Investigatory Power Act 2000 (RPIA) relating to phone hacking); the corruption of a Ministry of Defence official and...

    Reference: FS50574924 Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) Decision notice Date: 2 November 2015 Public Authority: Government Legal Department Address: 1 Kemble Street London WC2B 4TS Decision (including any steps ordered) 1. The complainant has requested information generated by a high profile criminal trial. Where it holds requested information, the Government Legal Department (GLD) relies on sections 42 (legal professional privilege) and 32 (court records) to withhold it from the complainant. 2. The Commissioner’s decision is that GLD’s reliance on the aforesaid sections was correct. Background 3. The Treasury Solicitor’s Department (TSol) was a non-ministerial government department that provided legal services to the majority of central government departments and often represented government departments and other publicly funded bodies in England and Wales. 4. On 1 April 2015, TSol became the Government Legal Department (GLD). For ease of reference, the Commissioner will refer to the public authority as ‘GLD’ throughout this notice. 5. R v Coulson, Brooks and others was a criminal trial at the Old Bailey arising from events colloquially known as the “News International phone hacking scandal”. 6. At the end of the trial, various defendants made an application for their costs to be met from Central Funds. 1 Reference: FS50574924 7.

This claim concerns the lawfulness of the current consultation exercise (“the Consultation”), running from 1 November 2016 to 10 January 2017, by which the Defendants seek views from the public on “the different options for commencement of section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013” and “whether proceeding with Part 2 of the [Leveson] Inquiry is still appropriate, proportionate and in the public interest”. 2. After the conclusion of Part 1 of the Leveson Inquiry (“the Inquiry”) in November 2012, the Government made clear and repeated promises to implement recommendations for press regulation that Lord Justice Leveson had made in his report on Part 1 (“the Leveson Report”), including incentives for press organisations to join an independent regulator. Those incentives are contained principally in section 1 40 of the Crime and Court Act 2013 (“CCA”). Section 40 CCA comes into force on such day as the Second Defendant may appoint. The Second Defendant has not brought section 40 into force. The Government also made clear and repeated promises to continue with Part 2 of the Inquiry, concerning unlawful or improper conduct of News International, the police and others. Part 2 of the Inquiry has not commenced.
