The lead solicitor for the claimants in the hacking case against the Mirror Group has hailed today's damages as "an important result for all victims of press intrusion".
James Heath of Atkins Thomson said it had "taken a brave and determined group of claimants to finally bring this newspaper group to account".
The Judge found that phone hacking by Mirror Group’s newspapers was widespread, institutionalised and long standing. He found there to be intrusion into the private lives of the claimants, which ranged from “serious” to “enormous”. The very substantial awards of damages reflect this gross intrusion.
