No further action is to be taken in the phone hacking operations, Weeting and Golding, the Crown Prosecution Service has announced.
The announcement means investigations in relation to corporate liability at News Group Newspapers and against 10 individuals at Mirror Group Newspapers will be dropped.
The decision to end the long-running inquiry into phone hacking could be challenged, a lawyer representing some of the victims has said.
Gerald Shamash, who represented former footballer Paul Gascoigne who was awarded £188,250 in relation to action against Mirror Group Newspapers, said it would be "right and proper" to review the decision.
Speaking to The Guardian he said: "Subject to client's instructions, we would want to have a review of the decision-making process.
"It's available, it's [a] quite right and proper process to go through and we would want it reviewed. No doubt a number of the other [law] firms would want to join on this."
