DG 2020 - 14

Might one put together the wobble over the BBC DG shortlist with news from the High Court yesterday ?

Hamlins ("Quietly Outstanding") are the lead lawyers representing at least 49 people suing The Sun and the now defunct News of the World for alleged phone hacking and unlawful information gathering. Yesterday they presented new documents entitled  ‘Re-amended particulars of concealment and destruction’, in which they say Will Lewis, shortlisted for the BBC DG vacancy, was "part of the senior management which organised or allowed extensive deletions of millions of emails to take place without preserving back-ups" at News International during 2010 and 2011, and that he "was heavily and directly involved in the email deletion strategy."
