david sillito, bbc news. harris is the former director of hacked off, and consultant for the claimants legal team. he gave me his thoughts on why this case is so important. this is a very important development because for 1h years news corporation, owned by rupert murdoch and news uk, headed up by here by rebekah brooks, have denied that there was ever any unlawful activity whatsoever at the sun newspaper and they've settled 1300 claims of people who say this without allowing them to get to court and without making that admission. and for the first time, notjust on the steps of court, but inside the court, it's clear that they were forced to make that admission to avoid, at the very least, a public trial of these allegations. and, you know, lord watson can't continue to sue on something they've admitted. that's not how the court system works. so it's a full victory for prince harry and tom watson. and they both set out what a price they paid. i mean, prince harry gets revenge attacks on him by the newspapers

"why are you going to this trial?" and he said, one word accountability. there have been 1300 people over the last 15 years or so who have brought claims against news group newspapers saying that they were hacked. all of those claims, bartwo, have been settled out of court. there have been 14 trials that have begun but have never reached this point so far. because each time newsgroup newspapers has made a settlement with them. and the question is, why do you accept a settlement? the reason is, if you go to trial afterwards and the compensation that is offered, maybe in the the trial, is less than you were offered before. you have to pay the legal fees. so it's a massive, massive gamble. and everyone so far has realised they've been advised. hugh grant recently was bringing a case and realised at the last minute, well, there was no way financially even he could take that risk. so we're now do
