Phone-hacking claims against News International near 300 Nearly 300 damages claims against News International have been filed at the high court over alleged phone hacking. The high court is to hear details of nearly 300 damages claims against News International for alleged News of the World phone hacking, from people including the late reality TV star Jade Goody. At least 155 new civil lawsuits - involving 174 individuals - for invasion of privacy were lodged with the high court by the 14 September deadline set by Mr Justice Vos, the high court judge overseeing the process. Vos will also be given an update from News International on its separate phone-hacking compensation scheme, which has accepted 137 claims, at a high court case management conference on Tuesday. The extent of phone hacking at the now-closed News of the World is expected to be confirmed by lawyers for both the claimants and News International. The 292 new claims are in addition to 58 lawsuits settled by the publisher earlier this year. Many of the names on the court register of claims are not well-known figures to the public and are what Lord Justice Leveson called "collateral damage" - relatives of celebrities or victims of crime, such as the parents of former nanny Louise Woodward, who was found guilty of manslaughter in the US when she was 19, and Lorna Hogan, the former girlfriend of Calum Best. Janet Woolf, the mother of Ken Livingstone's eldest child, is one who believes she was targeted because of her connection to a famous politician. Others who have not sought the public spotlight include Matthew Robertson, husband of Davina McCall. TV producer Kate Jackson, who made a fly-on-the-wall documentary about Goody as she was dying of cancer in 2009, is also making a claim along with two of the reality TV star's best friends, Simon Bridger and Danny Hayward. As executors of her estate, they are making the claims on her behalf. Lauren Pope, now known as a star from reality TV show The Only Way is Essex, is suing in relation to a night out with Prince Harry in 2004. Other civil claims not previously reported include actions taken by Yousef Bhailok, the former secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson. On the entertainment front, former EastEnders actor Lacey Turner is suing as is Claire Powell, Kerry Katona's former agent, and Footballers' Wives actor Laila Rouass. Suzanne Dando, the former British Olympic gymnast and ex-girlfriend of former Sky Sports presenter Andy Gray, is also claiming damages for alleged hacking. Joining the ranks of current and former Premier League footballers seeking damages are Noel Whelan, Chris Kiwomya and Neil Ruddock. Among the other claimants who filed before Vos's 14 September deadline were actor Hugh Grant, the former Labour leader Neil Kinnock and his wife Glenys, and former secretary of state for trade and industry Stephen Byers. The names of claimants will be confirmed before Vos during the case management conference on Tuesday. Earlier this month, he ordered a three- to four-day hearing in a bid to clear the way for potential trials of the second wave of phone-hacking claims against News International sometime after May next year. This second tranche of claims has become a protracted matter - this is ninth hearing this year - with ongoing legal arguments over what News International should and could reveal to claimants. The publisher settled 58 claims in January and February this year, including suits brought by Jude Law, Steve Coogan and Sienna Miller.
