David Sherborne

David Sherborne is a lawyer representing Prince Harry and other prominent figures in a legal case against Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. He is newsworthy because the case is currently being heard in the High Court, with Prince Harry scheduled to give evidence. Sherborne's team is arguing that ANL engaged in unlawful information-gathering techniques, including the use of private investigators to obtain sensitive information about the claimants. The case revolves around allegations of 'blagging' medical and personal information. Sherborne has highlighted the 'stark' lack of surviving documentation related to payments to private investigators by ANL, while also pointing to the 'conspicuous and often shocking evidence' that does exist. The case is significant as it involves high-profile individuals accusing a major media organization of serious breaches of privacy and unlawful conduct.
