An interesting phone-hacking development is reported in today's Independent. Citing an interview with Max Mosley in Vanity Fair, the man who won £60,000 in damages due to the News of the World's intrusion into his privacy says he will underwrite the legal costs of some people who claim the paper intercepted their voicemail messages.
Mosley is quoted in the magazine as saying: "In a number of cases I've said to people, 'If you lose, I'll stand behind you'... In Britain, to bring a lawsuit, you either have to have no money at all or be eccentric."
