Dyer receives apology and undisclosed sum after MGN Limited admitted unlawful access of private information

The former Newcastle and England footballer, Kieron Dyer, has received an apology at the high court after settling his phone-hacking case against the Daily Mirror in return for a financial payout.

The Mirror’s owners, MGN Limited, admitted to unlawfully intercepting Dyer’s voicemails between March 2003 and December 2004, and using private investigators to unlawfully obtain private information on eight occasions between 2003 and 2005.
