A prominent British tabloid publisher is trying to throw out a suit alleging that it illegally bugged several celebrities' phones and broke into their homes.

News of the Worldfor employees of the tabloid accused of phone hacking, police bribery, and other violating actions to stalk and surveil public figures, including members of the British royal family. One former tabloid employee who spoke out about his employer’s actions in 2011 wasshortly after. Public testimony from Ruper Murdoch confirmed the illegal practices and a widespread cover-up.

Today, the tabloid publisher seems to argue it can’t be sued by Harry and other public figures participating in the suit because any legal action should have been taken years ago. “It would be surprising indeed for any reasonably informed member of the public, let alone a figure in the public eye, to have been unaware of these matters,” the defendent’s attorney, Adrian Beltrami, wrote in court filings.
