British lawyer Mark Lewis, who has represented several victims of the phone hacking scandal, is in the US preparing to launch three court cases against News Corporation.
Transcript
EMMA ALBERICI, PRESENTER: British lawyer Mark Lewis has arrived in New York to take the phone hacking scandal to the core of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp business.
He's the lawyer whose 2007 case against the News of the World opened the floodgates to all the claims that followed. He was representing a hacked soccer official when he found an explosive email linking senior news executives to the conspiracy of silence around phone hacking. He managed to negotiate a 750,000 pound payout for his client.
But the whole affair took on an entirely different complexion last year when he launched an action last year on behalf of the parents of Milly Dowler, the murdered schoolgirl whose phone was hacked by Murdoch journalists when she disappeared. The uproar surrounding that case caused News International to shut the News of the World tabloid
Mark Lewis's involvement with this story has also become personal after he was himself put under surveillance by investigators working for the News of the World.
