NEARLY 50 new phone hacking lawsuits have been filed against Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper company, a lawyer said on Friday, including ones by singer James Blunt, soccer star Wayne Rooney and Cherie Blair, the wife of Britain's former prime minister Tony Blair.
The 46 new claimants in the second wave of legal action sent the total number of cases to over 100 against News International, a subsidiary of Murdoch's New York-based News Corp.
Victims' lawyer Hugh Tomlinson told High Court Justice Geoffrey Vos that the suits dealt with "a whole series of allegations" that went well beyond phone hacking.
"There is one admitted case of email hacking, blagging (misrepresentation) on a very large scale ... and so on," he said.
News International has already settled roughly 60 lawsuits with a variety of celebrities, sports stars, politicians and other public figures in the first wave of litigation.
