Lawyers to argue newspaper breached privacy by dredging up events from 31 years ago
Ben Stokes and his mother, Deborah, have launched legal action against the Sun for invasion of privacy, after the newspaper last month published a front-page story detailing a tragedy involving the
England cricketer’s family.
Their lawyers will argue that the story breached the family’s privacy by dredging up an issue that had been largely forgotten, according to an individual with knowledge of the case. It could challenge several precedents, given the Sun piece on the cricketer’s family was based on historical press reports and included an interview with a member of the family.
