News is breaking that Glenn Mulcaire has lodged a claim at the High Court against News Corporation.
Details of the claim are still unclear, but the report that the case has been lodged at the Chancery Division of the High Court suggests that it is not a straightforward action for damages.
It is instead likely to be for an order that News Corporation continue to indemnify him for his legal fees under the terms of his settlement agreement. Last month Rupert and James Murdoch were asked by MPs about this indemnity at the DCMS select committee. The next day it was announced that the legal fees would no longer be paid.
