Legal action[edit]

Dmg World Media

On 27 April 2007, Associated Newspapers was ordered to pay undisclosed damages to Hugh Grant. He sued over claims made about his relationships with his former girlfriends in three separate tabloid articles, which were published in the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday on 18, 21 and 24 February. Grant's lawyer stated that all of the articles' 'allegations and factual assertions are false.'[13]

In a written statement, Grant said he took the action because: 'I was tired of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday papers publishing almost entirely fictional articles about my private life for their own financial gain. I'm also hoping that this statement in court might remind people that the so-called 'close friends' or 'close sources' on which these stories claim to be based almost never exist.'[14]

The publisher has also lost libel cases and paid damages to personalities including television presenter Thea Rogers,[15] and Oisin Fanning, former CEO of Smart Telecom.[16]

On 1 October 2019, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex announced via a statement that his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle is suing Associated Newspapers over a private letter one of its newspapers, Mail on Sunday, had published.[17] The handwritten letter, which Markle addressed to her father, Thomas Markle, was published by the paper in February 2019.[18] The statement claims that the paper misused private information, copyright infringement and breached the UK's Data Protection Act 2018.[17] Furthermore, the Duke and Duchess alleges the letter was published illegally and edited selectively to hide 'lies' the paper had told about the Duchess.[17] Prince Harry added that the legal action 'hinges on one incident in a long and disturbing pattern of behavior' against his wife by British tabloid media.[17]
