Prince Harry's doomed phone hacking case against the Daily Mail was conducted so 'outside the norm' that he and his fellow claimants should be made to pay a substantial part of Associated's legal costs, the High Court heard today. Mr White told the court the press release was 'a monstrous thing to publish'. Mr White added: 'The extent of this shifting case was highly unreasonable and inexcusable.' Nicholas Bacon KC, representing the claimants in court today, said an indemnity ruling would be 'particularly harsh' on Prince Harry and the others. He said: 'All claimants approached (the trial) in good faith under the burden of media scrutiny into their private lives.'
