Google begins High Court case against Irish data regulator
According to Google, the court action is a procedural step to assess compliance with the law in the investigation. Photograph: Sebastien Bozon/AFP via Getty ImagesGoogle has started a High Court case against Irish data regulator Helen Dixon over a new privacy investigation into the company, taking the unusual step of initiating a legal challenge before any determination is made in the case. Ms Dixon, who is due to leave her role as Data Protection Commissioner in February, has sweeping powers under the EU general data protection regulation (GDPR) to supervise the pan-European operations of tech giants such as Google which has its European headquarters in Ireland. The Google case stands apart by seeking a court judgment on an investigation before the regulator hands down any ruling. However, the High Court case Google initiated on Thursday is not linked to such investigations.

Prince Harry drops libel lawsuit against Daily Mail publisher
At the time, Justice Matthew Nicklin said that a libel trial would be scheduled for between May and July. Harry must now pay the publisher's legal fees, which the Daily Mail reported to be 250,000 pounds, or about $316,000. Why was Prince Harry suing the Daily Mail's publisher? Harry attempted to win the case without going to trial in March by seeking a summary judgment, but was unsuccessful. In December, Harry won a lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mirror after a judge found Mirror Group Newspapers' phone hacking was "widespread and habitual."
