00:00Harry suffers big blow in court. Prince Harry suffered a recent loss in his legal battle

00:05against the Daily Mail, as the Duke and several other celebrities accused the publication of

00:10commissioning burglary to order. Daily Mail branded Prince Harry and the group of celebrity

00:15plaintiffs' claims as lurid and simply preposterous, rejecting the characterization

00:20set out by the claimants. While the lawsuit is going to trial, the allegations of burglary

00:25to order won't, narrowing the issues that the court will actually consider. Even if proved true,

00:30they cannot assist in the fair resolution of the claimant's claims. It is not alleged that this

00:35incident has any connection with any claimant or any pleaded journalist, Justice Nicklin said in

00:40his ruling. The events took place over 30 years ago. This is not a small area of the case. It is

00:45now a substantial dispute of fact, Justice Nicklin continued. Prince Harry, Elizabeth Hurley, and

00:51several other British A-listers accused the Daily Mail and its publishers of unethical practices,

00:56setting out claims against the outlet in their case. However, the judge wasn't confident in their

01:01ability to prove their claims of illegally accessing their property, signaling skepticism about that

01:06strand of the case. The costs and resources that would be devoted to resolving the factual dispute

01:12would, I am satisfied, be out of all proportion to any possible evidential value, Justice Nicklin said.

01:18Put bluntly, it has become a complex and involved sideshow. Justice Nicklin said that it wouldn't

01:24be helpful to decide if the Daily Mail's alleged illegal information gathering was widely and

01:30habitually carried out, emphasizing that this determination would not aid the court.
