British lawyer Mark Lewis is investigating claims by a client that News Corporation’s controversial security company, NDS Limited, was involved in a dirty tricks campaign in Britain to undermine a competitor’s technology.
”œThe allegations made against them are uncannily similar to what’s been alleged in Australia,” Mr Lewis said in an interview with ABC Lateline host Emma Alberici.
”œThe practice seems very, very similar.”
Mr Lewis has been the leading British lawyer pursuing cases against News International for telephone hacking by its News of the World newspaper.
