Doreen Lawrence Will Not Foot Any of Legal Bill in Failed Attempt to Sue Daily Mail The news that Doreen Lawrence, mother of the late Stephen Lawrence and a prominent social justice campaigner, will not be liable for any costs associated with her failed lawsuit against Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), publisher of the Daily Mail, highlights the law's capacity to both protect and punish.
Lawrence was one of seven claimants defeated in court in a high profile case that included allegations of unlawful information gathering.
The claims, which were covered by insurance, involved bugging, landline tapping, phone hacking, and "blagging" private information.
