"An allegation that the publisher of the Daily Mail newspaper commissioned "burglary to order" cannot go to an upcoming trial in claims made by Harry and the other high-profile individuals, a High Court judge has said. The group, which also includes Elton John and Liz Hurley, have accused the publisher of allegedly carrying out or commissioning unlawful activities such as accessing private phone conversations and hiring private investigators to place listening devices inside cars.

Having denied the allegations, ANL has previously described the claims made against them as "lurid" and "simply preposterous"."

"..n his 16-page ruling, Mr Justice Nicklin said that resolving these allegations had become "extremely complex" and an "involved side-show".

He said: "Even if proved true, they cannot assist in the fair resolution of the claimants' claims. It is not alleged that this incident has any connection with any claimant, or any pleaded journalist."

He continued: "The events took place over 30 years ago. This is not a small area of the case. It is now a substantial dispute of fact.

"The costs and resources that would be devoted to resolving the factual dispute would, I am satisfied, be out of all proportion to any possible evidential value. Put bluntly, it has become a complex and involved side-show."

Justice Nicklin isn't putting up with the BS.
